Giotto is a work-based personality questionnaire designed to assess integrity. It contains 101 items and generates scores on 7 scales based on the Prudentius model of personality. These scales are: Prudence, Fortitude, Temperance, Justice, Faith, Charity and Hope.
Overview
Giotto recognises that life is a series of choices and actions that are made in the context of the environment we operate in. We make choices about how to act and we must accept the consequences of those choices. Thus, our vices and virtues (integrity) will change over time as we are rewarded, or not rewarded, for our choices and actions. Different attitudes and behaviours will be labeled as acceptable or not, only in the context of the environment in which we are operating. Whatever our profile, it is a one that may change through personal choice over time.
Using Giotto
-
Pre Selection tool - Candidates can be screened for specific characteristics required for particular roles. For example, an airline pilot will require a substantially higher level of prudence than say an entrepreneur. The results of the test should not be used in isolation from other information about the candidate but can be used as an additional source of information.
-
Corporate culture benchmarking - This can be readily achieved using Getfeedback’s rapid data capture system. Corporate ‘snapshots’ can help to identify trends in the attitudes of the workforce as a whole, or of component parts. For example, a global financial services organisation used Giotto to identify attitude to risk across their trading teams, this enabled them to identify their corporate risk profile.
-
Training tool - Giotto is extremely useful particularly within the realms of compliance, ethics and leadership development. The results stimulate interesting discussion and often uncover rationale for interpersonal feelings of distrust, interpersonal tension and conflict. A trained professional can use the information to develop an individual’s ability to identify individual differences and respond accordingly to improve interaction.
