We would like you to think of the testing services that we provide as an additional highly structured, unbiased and objective virtual interview. Think Mr Spock!

Our 'Mr Spock' interview measures aspects of a person's personality and behaviour using techniques that cannot be incorporated into a face to face interview.

Our services should only be used in conjunction with conventional selection and interviewing techniques.

The DISCovery Personality Test

To familiarise yourself with our system please feel free to 'play' with your Control Panel.
For example, send yourself an 'invite' to take the test, take the test and actually experience how it all works.  Try customising one of the email templates or forwarding the results to a 'third party'. 

We have tried to be as user-friendly as possible but if you find anything difficult - please do not hesitate to let us know.

How it works - In Depth

Once you have ordered your system you will receive an email from 'Personality' - Subject: 'Test Administration System'.

This email will advise you that:

'Your Test Administration System has now been created' and will give you:

- a link to your Control Panel
- your username and password to access your control panel - this info will appear at the bottom of the email.

On the Control Panel

• Send an 'invite' to ask people to take the test.
• Enter a reference number for the test-taker which will appear on their Report.
• Review test results.
• Send test-takers an email giving them a link to test results.
• Send a third party an email giving them a link to test results.
• Track 'invitees' who have not yet completed test as requested and send them a reminder.
• Delete records.
• Sort by all the columns.
• Upload test-takers to be invited from an Excel spreadsheet
(Excel '97-2003 version).

'Main Menu'

First option - 'List of test-takers'

  • Name
  • Reference
  • Email - test-takers' email addresses
  • Date Invited - to take the test
  • Date Taken - date test taken
  • More - Details & Delete
  • Check

About the 'More' Column

On the 'Details' link

This is where you will:
- find the test-taker's Report and date test submitted.
- be able to forward the test results via email.
- find a log of forwarded test results and 'invitee' reminders.

On the 'Delete' link

This is where you will be able to delete a person's records.

About the 'Check' Column

To send a reminder email to an invitee - click on one or more of the check boxes and then on 'Send Reminder Email' at the bottom of the page.

Second option - 'Send new invite'

Enter the invitee's name, reference (if required) and email address. Click on 'Send'.

Clicking on this link will enable you to 'invite' people to take the test.
To do this you simply enter the person's name*, email address and reference (where applicable). 

*The name that you enter will appear on the test that the person will be sent a link to.

As soon as you click on the 'Send' button your invitation email will be sent.

Your 'invitee' will receive your email almost immediately.

As soon as your invitee completes a test you will be advised by email. You can access the results via a link on the email or via your Control Panel.

When the test has been taken by one of your Invitees

You will receive an email alerting you to the fact that test results are ready for you to view.  Here is an example of this email:

A new DISCovery Personality Test report is waiting to be viewed. You can access this by:

- going to your Control Panel
- by clicking on the link below.

You will see that the report is addressed directly to the test-taker rather than using terms such as 'the candidate', 'this applicant', 'this person', etc. We choose to do it this way because we actively encourage the 'best practice' of sharing the results - in a user-friendly form - with the test-taker.
