Go Beyond Skills to Understand the Whole Person

Skills tell you what someone can do — personality and behavioural traits tell you how they'll do it, how consistently, and in what conditions they'll thrive. Prelim's personality and behavioural assessment suite provides a rich, multi-dimensional candidate profile.

Built on the Big Five (OCEAN) model with additional workplace-specific facets, our personality assessments are validated for occupational settings and designed to be resistant to impression management.
