Talogy (Cubiks) offers two personality assaessments:

• Talogy (Cubiks) Factors, used to screen candidates during recruitment
• PAPI, used to support employee development within organizations

Factors Personality Test

The Talogy (Cubiks) Factors personality assessment is a professional tool leveraging data analysis during pre-screening. It links candidate traits to on-the-job performance, particularly for roles with rigorous selection processes.

PAPI Personality Test (PAPI I & PAPI N)

The PAPI (Personality and Preference Inventory) personality tests are extremely well known, where more than 10% of recruiters use them.

There are two different PAPI tests:

1. PAPI I (ipsative): This ipsative (forced choice) questionnaire was designed specifically for the professional sphere. It has no time limit but lasts between 25 and 30 minutes. The candidate must face 30 groups of three statements and choose which one corresponds to him/her the most and which one the least.
2. PAPI N (normative): This questionnaire is designed to make comparisons between different individuals. It is particularly used during recruitment processes, especially when selecting between different candidates for the same position. The duration of the test is also between 25 and 30 minutes, although there is no time limit. In this test, the candidate is confronted with 126 questions in the form of statements which he/she must rate on a scale of 1 to 7, where 1 is 'strongly disagree' and 7 is 'strongly agree'.

The test is available online on computer, tablet, or smartphone.

The Different Personalities (Types or Traits)

The PAPI test assesses 26 personality dimensions divided into 7 key areas.

Tips & Advice

• There are no right or wrong answers on a personality test. Some responses fit the role; others don't. Don't try to game the test if it conflicts with your genuine behavior-it can backfire. Do review the company's values and expectations so you understand what they prioritize.
• Take your time-these tests aren't timed. Think through your responses (without overthinking).
• Choose a quiet setting that helps you concentrate and answer calmly.

Talogy (Cubiks) Situational Judgement Test (SJT)

Talogy's (Cubiks) SJT places candidates in realistic job scenarios to give a snapshot of the role. The SJT is customizable for any position, letting employers tailor scenarios and responses. It evaluates fit and effectiveness through scenarios where candidates respond to multiple proposed actions. Items mirror situations likely to occur at work. Two response formats may appear within a single item:

1. Rate the effectiveness of each response on a 1-5 scale (1: counterproductive; 2: ineffective; 3: somewhat effective; 4: effective; 5: very effective).
2. Rank responses from most effective to least effective. Only two responses can be selected: use the upward arrow to mark "most effective" and the downward arrow for "least effective."
