5. OVERVIEW REPORT HIGHLIGHTS

PROVIDING DETAILED DESCRIPTIONS - The Overview Report is normally 5-7 pages in length printed.  It contains the Descriptive "TEXT" customized for the Individual taking the Hire Success Personality Profile.  

Where some tests only provide the test data and expect the Interviewer to know how to interpret the data or look it up in a System Manual, Hire Success Interprets and CUSTOMIZES the Descriptive information for the Individual.  The Applicant's Name is used throughout the document.  The proper Gender references are made in the text.  Each Overview Report reads like a booklet created especially for the unique combination of Personality Types, Characteristics and Traits for this individual.

Hire Success doesn't require Interviewers and others using the System to undergo days or weeks of intensive or expensive training before being certified to use the Test.  Hire Success Users can begin receiving the FULL BENEFIT of the system within MINUTES of installing the software and running the 1st Report!  

BENEFITS:

• No up-front training costs
• No lost employee productivity while learning a new system.
• No lengthy, complicated books to read and learn.
• Lower Overall Cost of testing.
• Consistent and Accurate information on each Applicant not various "interpretations" based on the level of understanding of the System by the Interviewer.
• Information available almost Instantly whether it is in the office or anywhere in the world via the Internet!

 KEY INFORMATION READILY AVAILABLE IN LEFT COLUMN - Throughout this report Personality and Trait Data is printed in the left column of the document to make it easy for the Interviewer to find the specific information he or she is looking for related to that data and to assure that the data found on the Summary Report is readily visible to assure the text descriptions are easily related to the Report Data.  See the example above where the Applicant's Primary Personality and Strength of that Personality are easily identifiable from the paragraphs of text found in the rest of the document.

BENEFITS:

• Information is Easy to Find
• Report is Easy To Read
• Descriptive Data is easily understood by the Interviewer.

 FIRST SECTION - PRIMARY PERSONALITY - The first section of the Overview Report is general descriptive text describing the PRIMARY PERSONALITY TYPE.  It is provided so the Interviewer does not have to keep referring to a Manual, or other documentation, to remember the details of a particular Personality Type.  The information is very general and helps to set the stage so the Interviewer will easily have a snapshot of what is "typical" of this personality type (not necessarily specifics of this individual) in order to have a basis to contrast more specific information that may be revealed in the rest of the document.

This is almost like reading a paragraph or two from a book telling you what you might expect from someone with this Personality Type.  We believe this is important because, as an employer, you want to be able to easily spot the UNIQUE characteristics about this individual, not just lump them into larger, non-descript categories.

BENEFITS:

• General background information provided for the Primary Personality Type for Each Applicant.
• Provides CONTRAST when examining the rest of the Report.
• Short and to the point to save time.

 SECOND SECTION - INFLUENCES OF OTHER PERSONALITY TYPES - Immediately following the general description, the Report begins to speak more of some of the more unique aspects you might look for in this Individual.  Although still general in nature, the description takes into consideration the influence of the Secondary Personality, and sometimes other Types, if the STRENGTH of the Secondary type is close to the Primary.  This helps the Interviewer build a more specific background model in their mind as to what they might expect from this unique Individual who may have strong or subtle influences of another personality Type.

BENEFITS:

• Text is customized for this Individual with Name and Gender information making it more personal
• Descriptive Background information begins to develop helping the Interviewer quickly see a clearer picture of what to expect from this individual
• No bulky manuals necessary for reference
• No special training required to interpret the Report

 THIRD SECTION - INDIVIDUAL PERSONALITY TRAIT INFORMATION - The final section, and certainly the largest part of the Overview Report, is the SPECIFIC Descriptive Text covering each of the 20 Trait Scales.  These speak specifically to the Traits of this unique individual.  Because the Traits are determined INDEPENDENTLY of the Personality Evaluation, it is possible, and even common, to find some Trait information that differs from the more "General" Personality Descriptions found in the first two sections.  

Hire Success us unique in how it strives to uncover the UNIQUENESS of the Individual by making NO ASSUMPTIONS regarding their Personality Traits and using the General Personality Descriptions as background or contrast for highlighting these Traits.  Most often, the Traits are what one might expect for the person's personality, but Hire Success can help uncover Special Traits that may not have been found on other tests. 

For example, "A" personality types typically delegate details to others.  This doesn't mean there aren't SOME "A" personalities who have trained themselves to be very detail oriented.  Rather than relying on "traditional expectations" based on the Primary Personality, Hire Success helps you identify the Uniqueness of the individual so you can have the most accurate information available when making a hiring or career enhancement decision.

BENEFITS:

• Provides Contrasting Background Information.
• Helps spot Unique Traits of the Individual
• Doesn't try to "lump" people into a few general categories.
