The OPQ32 is the work-related personality questionnaire from SHL. Below you read what it measures, which reports it gives and where to order it.
The OPQ32 maps behaviour at work across 32 scales in three areas: how someone deals with people, how someone thinks, and how someone handles feelings and pressure. It is one of the most researched questionnaires of its kind and is used worldwide for selection and development.
The value sits in the reporting. The same completed questionnaire gives a profile, a competency report or a leadership report, depending on your question. So you choose the report by the purpose, not by the test.
Influencing, collaborating, taking the lead and how someone moves among others.
Analysing, structuring, coming up with new solutions and handling detail.
Handling tension, resilience after setbacks and how much someone shows of their feelings.
Aptitude. For working and thinking level you use an aptitude test alongside the OPQ32.
The OPQ32 and its reports are ordered in the shop. Alongside that, the pages this subject touches.
Scores are set against a norm group. Which group that is decides whether a score comes out high or average, so ask at the point of ordering which norm group matches your target group.
The OPQ32 has been researched and reviewed extensively, among others by professional bodies in several countries. For the underpinning of the instruments hrmforce publishes itself, see the scientific accountability page.
