How does the measurement of a personality look around the world<\/strong><\/h3>\n

In a situation where companies are putting a lot of effort into keeping skillful people, the subject of testing personality potential is getting more and more interest. The ability to understand people is suddenly becoming a top priority of companies. As we are known for our EXEC U-TEST, which examines personality in detail, we have decided to dedicate this section specifically to this test. And even though this could be a bit one-sided, you will learn some interesting information.<\/p>\n


\nIn this issue, we take a close look at the Czech Republic<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Since 2004 we have had the unique opportunity of observing the development of the Czech people, especially those who work. With the help of our EXEC U-TEST, we evaluated the personalities of more than 120\u00a0000 people in the Czech Republic who were applying for jobs or were employed in Czech companies. Although the evaluation is always adjusted to the needs of a specific position, it also has a basic structure according to traits that enable us to see how the basic personality of the average Czech employee has developed. And we reached some positive conclusions.<\/p>\n

The self-confidence level of Czech employees was very low in 2004. Although they had potential, very often they did not believe in their abilities, and did not start some projects mainly due to fear of failure. That situation has improved a lot, and in 2017 the average self-confidence of Czech people rose by 18 points (on a scale from -100 to +100) and is generally moving in a positive direction.<\/p>\n

Another development is that, in comparison with the past, more and more people tend to value things other than just material goods. The overall interest in self-improvement, teamwork, relationships, etc. is rising.<\/p>\n


\nHow do Czech companies perceive the EXEC U-TEST?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

As we have already mentioned above, we will talk mainly about the EXEC U-TEST here and, in light of that, we would also like to show you some results from an independent survey concerning this test.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Although some years ago the University of Oslo took a close look at the EXEC U-TEST and assessed the test\u2019s reliability to be 89%, we were interested to know the viewpoint of our customers in the Czech Republic \u2013 those who work with this test on a daily basis as well as those who have seen it only once. To ensure accuracy, a survey was done by the independent agency STEM\/MARK and, according to the results of this survey, more than two hundred of the people questioned assessed the validity of the EXEC U-TEST to be 80%.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I hired my first employee based on this test he was exactly as the EXEC U-TEST described him. I became convinced about the quality of the test, and we continue using it to this day.\u201d

What we were most happy about is that the survey also showed that 96% of the people questioned would recommend the EXEC U-TEST to their friends from other companies.<\/p>\n


\nHow are we worldwide regarding planning?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

We took a close look at the average values of each trait for the people tested in thirteen countries around the globe. We looked at the last 10 years of development regarding people\u2019s ability to plan, look toward the future and have ambitions in general (the Stability trait in the EXEC U-TEST).<\/p>\n

It is important to mention that we are dealing with average values, which differ for a number of tested people from country to country. However, we are talking about thousands\u00a0of tests done overall per year \u2013 Sweden, Norway, Slovakia, Hungary \u2013 or\u00a0even ten thousand or more tests done per year \u2013 Colombia, Russia, the Czech Republic.<\/p>\n


\nWe don\u2019t dare draw any conclusion about what could cause those changes; however, notice the following:<\/strong><\/h4>\n
