What is a personality test in the German language?

The Bridge Personality test is also available in the German language. It measures 34 personality traits based on the Big Five model and gives detailed insights into working style, communication preferences and behavioral strengths.

The team report highlights the distribution of personality styles and Jung Types within the team, making collaboration styles and communication differences easy to see. It is an effective tool for recruitment, coaching and team development.

Has your candidate been honest? Find out with Normative-Ipsative split technology®

A modern (adaptive) personality test, such as The Bridge Personality uses both normative and ipsative statements. Normative means that the candidate scores a statement on a scale from one to nine (1 = very strongly disagree, 9 = very strongly agree). In this case, Ipsative means that candidates must rank questions (1 = least applicable to me, 6 = most applicable to me).

By combining normative and ipsative statements, it is possible to provide insight into socially desirable response behavior and consenting responses up to the level of the personality dimension. Using Normative-Ipsative split technology®, The Bridge Personality then provides insight into steering response behavior. Normative-Ipsative splits® are indicators in the Bridge Personality Short Report that can indicate the degree of steering response behavior at the level of a competency. This way, you can see exactly where a candidate has doubts or where the candidate made an attempt to complete the test in a dishonest or socially desirable way. It is truly an indispensable tool during the selection of candidates
