For over 75 years, psychologists have used personality instruments to provide guidance and assistance to others. Ironically, while personality assessments are designed to place people into categories, one of their greatest weaknesses is the tendency to improperly place people into clearly defined categories when receiving ambiguous results. Since no personality instrument can be 100% accurate, there is a greater likelihood for mistyping if a test produces results at or near a midpoint between two categories. In most cases, personality instruments are useful and a positive experience for people. However, for some, being placed into the wrong personality categorization increased the chances of receiving the wrong advice.
The Best-Fit Online® Solution.
AdvisorTeam has developed the first major
improvement to the personality assessment process called Best-Fit®
Online. This patented process
greatly improves personality typing by providing the respondent
with a self-verified interactive process to ensure a higher
likelihood to determine an individual's true” personality type.
By asking the user for feedback, the Best-Fit® process reduces
the sense of being tested or stereotyped. Instead, respondents
feel a greater sense of participation during their personality
discovery process.
The Best-Fit Online® is now part
of the KTS® -II instrument and is only
available to administrators through the AdvisorTeam's online
administrator platform.
