How do I interpret Drives test results?
Our Drives test is quite unlike any of the other assessments we provide. There are no 'right' or 'wrong' answers in this assessment, and neither is there a score. By contrast to the more traditional cognitive and behavioural assessments, our Drives test is designed to give you the opportunity to better understand what motivates your candidate and, therefore, make better hiring decisions.
You will be able to gain an insight into what areas of business your candidates find exciting. What do they enjoy most about a job? What makes them excited to come to work every day? As the employer, you can then make a judgement as to whether your product, service, brand and mission will align with what this candidate wants to gain professionally and how to better get the most from this prospective employee.
Candidates are given 20 points to distribute between their motivational drives. They have 5 minutes to make their decision. These drives are categorised as;- Learning and learning
- Team environment
- Financial reward
- Rewarding work
- Innovation
- Purpose
- Recognition
- Responsibility
- Job security
Their selection will then be shared with you and displayed as a scale, from their highest priority to their lowest. You can then make a decision as to whether or not this candidate will be a good match for your business needs.
