Qualia Personality

Qualia|Personality

Elite behavioural psychometrics for human resources professionals


"[Qualia] is the best tool available for building self-awareness and getting behavioural change.  I dedicated the whole of last year to researching these tools, to find the best one.  This was the winner."

Ross McLelland, Managing Director, Pacific Consulting

Qualia|Personality is a sophisticated psychometric personality questionnaire that gives you a comprehensive yet easy to understand description of an individual.

Qualia is intended for professional use by organisational psychologists, human resources practitioners, executive coaches, recruitment professionals and career guidance specialists.  It informs:

- Selection decisions

- Executive coaching

- Career coaching

- Team building

- Learning & development 

- Cultural change / organisational development 

Importantly, it is also easy for you to access and comes at a reasonable price.


  Exceptional Design

Designed by leading international experts, Qualia now has over ten years research and development behind it.  Qualia's unique 'nipsative' question format and British standard statistical trialling offer superior accuracy over other tools in its class.

It's also written in culturally neutralised English so you can use it internationally wherever first and second language English is spoken, including the UK/Europe, America/Canada, Australia/New Zealand, India, Singapore, Malaysia, The Philippines, Hong Kong and South Africa.

Results are displayed as a peer-group comparison, so you can see your staff or clients' traits relative to what is ‘normal’ for other working people.

Qualia has 87 question groups comprised of 261 items and takes about 25 minutes to complete.

 

"Love the format - easy to read... More comprehensive than the 16PF, less jargony than the MBTI ... Head and shoulders above DISC.  A very practical, useful tool." 

Andrew McColl, Mercer Human Resources Consultants (WM Mercer)

"I am extremely impressed with the depth of [Qualia].  It doesn't pigeon-hole people but creates a truly comprehensive profile of an individual.  Nonetheless it's surprisingly clear and very easy to understand.

It's particularly great for its ability to clarify areas for personal development.  I’m amazed at the ‘Interpretation Guide’.  It’s all exceedingly well put together."

Phillip Allison, MD, Corporate Edge Consultants  (Ex-Regional Director, Franklins)


 

   Competency Sets

Qualia also generates competencies.  It offers six standard competency sets:

  • Leadership Styles - the style(s) of leadership that a person is most likely to adopt, such as egalitarian, authoritarian or encouraging styles.

Qualia can also measure your own in-house competencies and display them on customised profile charts that are unique to your business.  Talk to us about your needs.

“Excellent, thank you very much.  Having done some similar things in the past, I can say that it's a good reflection…  Crucially, the presentation of results is the best I've seen."

Getting started

Getting started is easy. Talk to us about your particular circumstances and we’ll advise you how to proceed.

Training

No training is required as a corporate psychologist from Insight Matters will manage the whole process for you.

However, if you are a corporate psychologist or human resources specialist and would like to use Qualia independently, you may do so after attending one of the excellent Occupational Personality Profiling training courses.
