Personality Questionnaire Practice

Get comfortable with a personality questionnaire before you take the real one.

A personality questionnaire asks about your preferences and how you usually behave at work. There are no right or wrong answers.

Employers use the results, alongside other information, to understand how you are likely to approach work. The most useful thing you can do is answer honestly.

How to Prepare

Be Yourself

Answer as you really are, not as you think an employer wants you to be. Honest answers give the most accurate picture of you.

Go with Your First Reaction

Your first instinct is usually the most accurate. Try not to spend too long rethinking each answer.

Think About How You Are at Work

When a question could apply to different situations, answer with your working life in mind.

Free Practice Tests

Practice tests give you a feel for the experience before you take a real assessment. Each opens in a new tab.

Note: Podium do not offer any feedback on the practice tests. We do not provide answers, scores, or solutions to the questions presented in these practice tests.

Common Questions

Are the practice tests free?
Yes. The practice tests are free and you do not need an invitation to take them.
Are the practice tests the same as the real assessment?
No. They help you get familiar with the experience, but they are not the assessment you have been invited to take.
Can I ask for adjustments?
Yes. If you have a disability or need any adjustments, contact the organisation that invited you before you start. They arrange the conditions for your assessment.
Can I use AI tools or get help from someone else?
No. Your assessment must be your own work. Podium monitors how assessments are taken, and using outside help can lead to your results being invalidated.
Who sees my results?
Your results go to the organisation that invited you. Please contact them with any questions about your results or the next stage.
