A personality measure of the "fit" to role, derailers and integrity of potential and current employees
Giotto represents one of the first measures of personal integrity to be entirely developed in the UK.
The measure is particularly suited for use pre-interview, indicating particular aspects of a candidate's work-based behaviour and attitudes which may benefit from further probing during the selection process.
Giotto recognises the potential difficulties inherent in the accurate measurement of integrity and is therefore presented as an ipsative questionnaire. This helps to avoid the contaminating effects of a candidate lying or faking.
Giotto also makes use of state-of-the-art neural network techniques to unravel the complex nature of personal integrity, as it relates to the workplace. Taken together, these factors help to provide a more accurate and reliable measure of a candidate's strengths and weaknesses, across a total of 7 dimensions.
High scores on these dimensions may provide protection against:
Scores on these 7 dimensions can then be matched to the requirements of a particular job. Although all 7 dimensions have general applicability, each post will have particular requirements which identify certain patterns of scores as being salient to effective job performance.
Giotto is now available for completion online. A combined profile and narrative report is automatically generated upon completion of the test. The cost of the questionnaire and report will be £20. Paper questionnaires will still be available for those wishing to do so and in addition a bureau service, costing £50, will be available.
