Overview
NEO Personality Inventory Revised (NEO PI-R) is the standard questionnaire measure of the Five Factor Model of Personality with NEO Five Factor Inventory (NEO FFI) being a shorter version. Both provide a systematic assessment of emotional, interpersonal, experiential, attitudinal, and motivational styles with detailed personality descriptions.
The longer NEO PI-R is the more comprehensive test measuring not only the Big 5 dimensions but also the six traits or facets that define each domain thus building up a more comprehensive and detailed assessment of normal adult personality. The shortened FFI version of the NEO PI-R does not cover off the facets but still provides a quick, reliable, and accurate measure of the big 5 domains and may be more appropriate when time is limited or general information on personality is sufficient.
Using Neo
Selection
Candidates can be screened for specific characteristics required for particular roles. For example, someone required to work in a call centre fielding customer complaints would need a very different personality to someone managing a high-pressure sales team. 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.
Development
Neo is best applied in situations where it is desirable to uncover barriers and reveal enablers to go forward. Self-awareness is integral to meaningful and sustained development.
High Potential and Leadership Development
Personality does not predict performance but it does provide substantial information about the barriers and enablers to performance and the type of work situations that would suit an individual best. Neo is a key component to Getfeedback’s performance based and holistic Talent Identification Assessment.
