The Profiles International PXT® is a multi-purpose, total person employee assessment used for selection, development, training, promotion, managing and succession planning. The Profile XT is used as a prehire tool to find the best-matched candidate for a particular job. Also, the Profile XT helps managers interview and select people who have the highest probability of being successful in a particular role, and provide practical recommendations for coaching them to maximum performance. The Profile XT is customizable, and peak job performance models can be developed by company, position, manager or geography.

Related to the Profile XT, the
Profiles Sales Assessment™ (PSA) measures how well a person fits specific sales jobs in your organization so that you can optimize sales performance. It is used primarily for selecting, onboarding and managing sales people and account managers. This sales assessment also predicts on-the-job performance in seven critical sales behaviors: prospecting, call reluctance, closing the sale, self-starting, working with a team, building and maintaining relationships, and compensation preference.

Also related to the Profile XT, the
Profiles Managerial Fit™ (PMF) is a manager assessment test which measures critical workplace compatibility factors between managers and their employee(s) to determine managerial fit. Understanding the dynamics of the supervisor-subordinate relationship helps the manager work more effectively with each employee by recognizing where their perspectives are similar and where they differ.

The
Profiles International CheckPoint 360°™ is an employee survey for leaders and used primarily to evaluate the leadership skills and effectiveness of your managers and leaders. This survey compiles a feedback system from direct reports, peers, supervisors, and even customers, with a personalized program for developing specific leadership skills based on that feedback.
