A research-based personality test that is quick and easy to implement and use
A personality test should not only provide insight – it should create real value in HR work. PeopleTools Big6 is an action-oriented profiling tool that easily integrates into recruitment, onboarding, and employee development. With clear and easy-to-understand outputs, it becomes easier to select the right candidates and drive positive transformations within the organisation.
When hiring a new employee or leader, it is not just about professional qualifications – personality and cultural fit are equally important. PeopleTools Big6 provides a thorough assessment of the candidate’s behavioural patterns and work-related preferences, enabling you to ensure the right match from the start and design an onboarding process that builds on the employee’s strengths.
Personal development requires both insight and practical tools. With a clear and easy-to-understand profile, managers and HR can use the assessment as a foundation for development conversations, helping employees understand their strengths and areas for growth. This ensures that development efforts are focused and motivating rather than generic and abstract.
High-performing teams are not just made up of skilled individuals. They also need to understand and complement each other’s differences. With PeopleTools Big6, HR can help teams identify their dynamics, optimise collaboration, and build a shared understanding of strengths and challenges. This makes it easier to create well-functioning teams and improve cooperation across the organisation.

The best tools are those that can be used right away. PeopleTools Big6 presents results in a clear and accessible report that makes it easy to identify strengths, development areas, and potential challenges without the need for complex psychological interpretations.
A test should never feel like a judgement but rather as a starting point for a meaningful conversation. The profile is designed to facilitate an open and constructive dialogue, allowing the candidate to easily relate to the results and understand how they can be applied in practice.
HR professionals and managers should be able to use the tool after a straightforward certification process. That is why the test’s structure, scales, and interpretations are intuitive and easy to communicate. This allows you to quickly gain value from the results, whether you use the test for recruitment, team development, or employee development.
For a personality test to create real value, it must be user-friendly for both the HR professional providing the feedback and the candidate receiving it. PeopleTools Big6 is designed to be easy to interpret, apply, and act on, ensuring that the results become an integrated part of recruitment and development rather than just numbers on a page.
