How does PAPI work?

PAPI explores a broad range of personality dimensions. These dimensions are split between Role and Need scales. The Role scales measure an individual's self-perception in the work environment and look at areas such as leadership, work style and planning.

The Need scales in PAPI probe the deeper inherent tendencies of an individual's behaviour such as the need to belong to groups, the need to be noticed and the need to be supportive.

Global Development and Support

PAPI has been used across the globe for over 40 years and is used by over thousands of HR professionals, recruiters, development specialists and hiring managers worldwide. The PAPI questionnaire is available in over 30 different languages and as such, allows multi-national employers to develop a common assessment language and apply consistent assessment standards wherever they do business.

Training can be offered anywhere in the world and companies can be supported either locally or centrally depending on their requirements.

Critically, extensive trials have taken place to cater for local differences in culture and business practice. Consequently, users can be safe in the knowledge that PAPI will deliver accurate and reliable results, wherever it is used.
