Theory behind the personality profile

The Personality profile test was based on the temperaments theory which deals with five distinctive personalities that originated with Hippocrates 400 B.C.
We all consist of different percentages of each of the four main groups, which make up sixteen distinct personalities. Adding in the fifth personality ("E") which is an equal percentage of all four personality types, we now have 17 different and distinct personality types.

Methodology

The Personality profile test uses words associated with each of the four main groups to define to what degree a candidate is in each of the four main groups. Each group has a definite pattern of talent and character traits which makes up the group. The system reviews all the answers entered and cross checks each one for inconsistencies in relation with each other answer. If an inconsistency is found, the system red flags that answer and continues on with the next answer, and so on. When a corresponding answer is found for the inconsistent answer, the system reviews all other corresponding answers to determine what would be the most logical answer for that word and corrects the answer. After this procedure is accomplished, the system checks for patterns of known human nature behavior to determine if the candidate is actually one type personality trying to be or looking to be like another type. If this is the case, the answers are reviewed once again and corrected to reverse the pattern to show the true personality percentage.

Scoring

Each answer is scored by a degree as to the strength of that trait after the above corrections are made. Points are added or deducted from a total of fifteen to show a chart of character and talent traits from 1 being very weak to 15 being extremely strong. This chart and interview guide allow the interviewer to direct the interview based on the weak or extreme traits the candidate has. Also a score for the consistency level is measured, the higher the score, the more valid the report will be and the less inconsistencies the candidate had.
Learning to read the report and read between the lines TAQYIM has put in a Training Program explaining the different personalities and how to manage and motivate them.
