Working from home (WFM) provides a plethora of benefits to staff, but along with these benefits also come challenges.
It is essential that WFM staff are particularly self-sufficient, and are able to manage their motivation, workload, and stress levels independently.
Often, freelancers and agency staff are employed remotely, never physically meeting the organisation that pays them.
Ensuring that freelancers are well suited to remote working can be essential to the success of a project, avoiding harmful attrition during critical times.
Telecommuting to virtual offices provides many of the benefits of remote working, while also retaining a physical address.
However, telecommuting still requires a greater level of self-sufficiency than traditional office working, and thus places different demands on staff.
Remote working provides staff with unparalleled flexibility, vastly improving work-life balance while also minimising the time, money, and stress associated with commuting. However, remote work does inevitably minimise face-to-face social interaction with colleagues, which can be uncomfortable for the highly extraverted. Similarly, without direct managerial supervision, less focused or motivated staff may find their performance waning while working remotely.
The Ethos Behavioural Styles Questionnaire (R) has been designed to measure the key traits which determine whether or not a person will thrive while working remotely. In particular, it investigates the behavioural dispositions that underlie independence and self-sufficiency, which is essential while working remotely. This ensures that new hires will view remote working positively, and thus will thrive in a remote working environment.

Remote Working Broad Traits
Research suggests that performance, well-being, and risk of burnout while remote-working depends heavily on the personality of staff members. For example, highly extraverted staff that WFM are at greater risk of burnout and low performance, whereas the opposite is true for less extraverted staff. As a result, not only can behavioural assessments enhance performance when used in selection of remote workers, but it can also protect candidates from unnecessary stress.
The Ethos behavioural Styles series of questionnaires have been designed to measure key behavioural traits which underpin performance, well-being, and engagement in the workplace. These assessments have been designed with positive psychology principles in mind, measuring the traits which help people to thrive and gain fulfilment from their work. This is somewhat distinct from the traditional personality questionnaire approach, which takes a more clinical and impartial view of candidates, performance, and behavioural fit.
Personality questionnaires are designed to assess your general character and predict how you are likely to behave in the workplace. There are no right or wrong answers in a personality questionnaire and high scores do not necessarily mean better scores. This is the key difference with other psychometric tests or exams, such as aptitude tests, that you may have taken before.
The scale responses (i.e. Strongly Agree to Strongly Disagree) will appear next to the questions, so you can check your responses and make sure you haven't made a silly mistake.
Always be as honest as possible during a personality assessment. Don't try to provide the responses that you think the employer will want to see, as you might not know exactly what they are looking for.
Make sure you read all of the questions properly. You can take time to reflect on them if you wish, but generally speaking your gut response will usually be most accurate.
Check you have everything you might need: an environment where you can concentrate properly, and your glasses etc. Personality questionnaires are untimed, so you can take as long as you need to complete them. If you lose internet connection during the test, don't worry, simply log back in and continue from where you were.
