Overall Score (score 60)
|
Overall suitability for warehouse work.
|
|
Sam appears to be fairly well-suited for a job in a warehouse. Although he may need to work on certain skills and traits, he scored well on most of the scales. Thus, from a job fit point of view, he seems to have most of the necessary skills and traits that will allow him to succeed in this line of work. If he puts in the effort to improve upon his existing skills, he would adapt well to a warehouse position. In general, Sam's personality and skills adequately match this type of occupation.
|
Concentration (score 39)
|
Ability to maintain focus on a task.
|
|
Although Sam might be capable of devoting his full attention to a task, he cannot do so for a long period of time. He tends to lose focus when he should be paying attention, and this may not be limited to distracting environments. Whether it's boredom, carelessness, or a lack of discipline, All this adds up to what could be unintentionally negligent and unsafe behavior. Sam needs to improve his attention span significantly.
|
Accident Proneness (score 16)
|
Assesses whether a person's attitude toward safety could increase his chances of causing accidents.
|
|
Sam seems to be a cautious and responsible person who is unlikely to cause accidents. If he does take a physical risk, he is apt to take every precaution to protect himself and others. In jobs where taking physical risks is required, or in which certain tasks pose a danger, he would likely be someone who would practice safety at all times.
|
Compliance with Rules (score 51)
|
Assesses a person's likelihood of abiding by organization rules.
|
|
Sam will not follow all rules all the time - there are occasions when he will intentionally break them. He likely recognizes that there are consequences to his actions, but this doesn't always stop him. It's probable that most of his rule-breaking tendencies are minor, but based on his inconsistent rule-abiding behavior, there is still a chance that he will be tempted to break even major rules on occasion. He needs to change this tendency and make rule-following more of a priority.
|
Comfort with Routine (score 48)
|
Assesses ability to cope with routine.
|
|
Sam can cope reasonably well with routine work, but would likely prefer some variability. This may not be possible for some warehouse positions, as tasks tend to be routine for the most part. This is an aspect of that job that he will need to adjust to if he chooses to work in this type of position.
|
Efficiency (score 69)
|
Assesses ability to work productively and in a timely fashion.
|
|
Sam is a relatively efficient person. Although he doesn't always complete tasks in the most time-effective manner, he does seem to find ways to save time and energy. He can likely squeeze in quite a few tasks into his work day, especially when he is able to find a way to streamline his approach, which is often the case. Sam is generally quite good at saving time and resources.
|
Attention to Detail (score 68)
|
Ability to conscientiously attend to details of a task.
|
|
Sam may not catch every detail, but he is fairly meticulous. He is usually willing to put in the time and effort needed to make sure the details of a project are taken care of, but perhaps becomes a little impatient occasionally. When he is tempted to skip over details, he needs to remind himself of the potential consequences of missing an error. In general, however, he has a good eye for detail.
|
Work Ethic (score 66)
|
Dedication to working hard, diligently, and with integrity.
|
|
On most occasions, Sam displays a good work ethic. He may a have a very good reason for those times when he is not able to live up to expectations, but he should still strive to improve in this area. Overall, his manager can usually depend on him to get work done when and as expected, and to be dedicated to his success and the company's as a whole.
|
Team-oriented (score 42)
|
Willingness and ability to work well others.
|
|
It appears that while Sam is willing to work as part of team, it's a challenge for him sometimes; he seems to have some reservations about working and cooperating with others.

Sam needs to strive to be more cooperative when it comes to working with others.
|
Manageability (score 50)
|
Assesses whether a person's disposition and attitude are likely to be conducive to a warehouse managerial structure.
|
|
There appear to be some aspects of working in a very structured job environment with a strict chain of command that bother Sam.

Impression Management (score 10)
|
Assesses whether the test-taker responded in a socially desirable manner.
|
|
This scale assesses the degree to which results on this test are distorted or manipulated. Many people will try to present themselves in a better light, especially if the stakes are high.
Test-taker answers are compared to responses obtained from a large sample of the general population. When someone systematically selects socially desirable responses that are rarely endorsed by others, there is good reason to believe that a positive self-presentation bias is at play. A score that is suspiciously high may indicate that a person is lying, which may invalidate that whole test.
There was little or no indication in Sam's results to suggest that he was lying or trying to present himself in a favorable light.
