CAREERsense offers a variety of testing instruments and the following is a brief description of each of them.

Leonard Personality Inventory

The LEONARD Personality Inventory (LPI) was designed to profile behavioural preferences of individuals. It is formulated based on the Five Factors Model (FFM) of human personality. It can identify a person's emotional orientation and locate a person's preferred behavioural orientations on any of the five behavioural dimensions, namely Openness, Neutral, Analytical, Relational, and Decisive. The LPI will also help individuals to gain self-awareness regarding their preferred behaviours, develop strategies to remove emotional blind spots, understand others' behaviours and motivations, appreciate others better, and develop better teamwork with others.

MANCHESTER PERSONALITY QUESTIONNAIRE (MPQ)

The MPQ was developed to provide an occupational test which focuses on traits relevant to creative and innovative behaviour. The MPQ provides an assessment of personality based on occupationally relevant personality factors. It can be used in two ways: first, it can be used as part of a selection battery for predicting job performance provided that the personality predictors have been established from job analysis and validation research. Second, the MPQ can be used as an enabling tool to help explore candidate suitability.
