There are absolutely tons of free “personality questionnaires” available on the web. However, sometimes the “results” aren’t free to view (ie, free to complete but you have to pay to access the results) and in many cases the products aren’t properly validated.
However, recently I came across a sample online questionnaire from SHL (who are highly respected test providers). If you have candidates completing these type of questionnaires for a client and want to help them understand what the process is its’ well worth pointing them to this.
So could we get all candidates that we work with to complete this questionnaire? Perhaps completing it before coming in for an interview with us so that we can base competency based questions on the findings.

I’m pretty sure that if SHL saw you were doing this they would be unhappy with it.
They are very strict about the usage of their products and insistent that interpretation is only done by a trained assessor. However, that’s not to say you wouldn’t get away with it!
