Taking your Winslow Profile
We get lots of questions about taking the Winslow Profile so here are a few review items for you as well as a great video to help get you started.
******* Start with this video…
Purpose of assessment;
O Used as a personal / professional performance enhancement tool, this assessment can be utilized by the employee to help support their personal career growth aspirations and overall job success.
O This is not so much a test as it is an assessment that is 100% objective based on the answers that you select thus assessing your personality as it relates to the key scientific traits that relate to overall job success.
O The value of the results will be directly related to how closely you follow the instructions in the audio file and how objectively you answer the questions.
O Besides offering personal and professional growth, this assessment can also be used to support an individual’s performance as it relates to a team, group, or organizational goals thus providing the foundation for a dynamic system that builds toward success.
O This assessment can be utilized as a benchmarking tool, relative to your current traits across the board, you can then use this snapshot for further development goals as they relate to your success in your current / future positions.
Tips for taking the assessment;
O Follow the audio instructions closely for the “development” assessment, answering the questions “in the now”… not who you used “to be”, want “to be” or what you think others need to see you as… rather be in the present moment.
O Carefully and truthfully answering the questions will assure the information you provide will be accurate and objective.
O Take the assessment when you are yourself, not while ill or suffering from stress. There is no need to be nervous, be yourself.
O The more honest you are with yourself during this process the better your self-perspective results will be.
O It will take and hour or so to complete, move quickly but not carelessly. The more time you take to answer chances will increase that you will over-think the questions, your first answer will usually be best.

Client Expectations of Winslow Assessment
Expectations of Winslow Assessment System
A prospective client recently inquired about our use of The Winslow Assessment System in assisting their business in applicant and client selection, staff development and staff career pathing. I asked for his company’s top 3 objectives in using a personality assessment tool. They are, in his order of importance, as follow:
- How reliable are the assessment results of The Winslow in evaluation of a candidate’s potential for success in running my business?
- How quickly are the Winslow Profile Report results available to me for review?
- How much does the investment in the personality assessment cost?
Working backwards, this company manager’s astute use of the word “investment” indicates he intends to benefit from the person he finally hires, so no mistakes! It also begs for a cost/ benefits analysis, since his word “cost” is meaningless in business without it. You get what you pay for, so what do you stand to gain?
His second question about how quick are the test results available is the problem we all have in common of never having enough time. How fast is fast enough when hiring the right person, or not, is at stake?
Finally, the first question he poses about assessment reliability makes the point that all personality tests are not equal, that, in today’s work force downsizing, hiring or promoting the right person is a critical decision and that today’s hiring manager has to be able to read between the lines of the applicant’s practiced techniques for getting hired. Going on intuition, gut feeling and personal opinion is no longer adequate as a stand-alone technique.
In the following 3 blog series, I will look at obvious and not-so-apparent considerations in how The Winslow Report meets the 3 objectives in this company’s intended use of personality and behavior assessment to reduce errors in candidate screening and selection.
