Culture fit can make or break employing organisations, especially those with firmly established organisational cultures.
Identifying a person’s character strengths can ensure congruence between the values of the organisation and the behavioural dispositions of the candidates.
Behavioural misfit at the role level often results in low levels of employee satisfaction, engagement, and ultimately performance.
Ensuring that staff have complementary character strengths helps to achieve role-fit, and thus avoid the problems associated with role-misfit
Designing high-performing, inclusive, and close-knit teams is a challenge for even the most experienced managers.
By measuring character strengths you can ensure proper team composition from a behavioural perspective, minimising conflict and maximising cooperation.
Strengths are the underlying behavioural characteristics which allow us to thrive in the correct environment. Strengths cover a wide range of different behavioural traits, and each person exhibits a different combination of integral strengths. When recruiting for strengths, you ensure that staff hold the key behavioural indicators which underpin performance, well-being, and employee satisfaction in the workplace.
The strengths questionnaire employs modern item response theory psychometric (IRT) modelling, the latest research findings in the field of behavioural assessment. It is designed to accurately measure the traits which underpin a person’s character strengths, both fairly and accurately, all while providing an exceptional candidate experience.

Strengths Broad Traits
Strengths are behavioural characteristics, which differ from personality traits in the traditional sense. Character strengths are the traits which allow people to thrive in the correct environment, whereas personality traits are simply descriptors of observed behaviour. This allows you to focus on what the candidate finds motivating and ensure those motivators are in line with the role, the organisation, and the environment.
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.
