How To Best Use Your Profile
When reviewing your Profile, focus on your strengths. But remember that even the world’s most successful people have areas of weakness. They succeed because they understand their strengths and weaknesses, maximize their abilities and build skills in critical areas.
Your Profile shows general tendencies and cannot identify highly specific skills or personality traits. For this, more in-depth testing is possible. Your exact scores might vary according to your mood or energy level when taking the test, but our research shows the profiles are reliable over the long-term.
If there is any aspect of yourself you would like to change or develop, expect the changes to be gradual and to require persistent effort and learning. Use good educational resources, get help from mentors and above all be patient with yourself.
How the Profile Works
Like many assessments, Trump University’s Career Assessment asks a series of carefully designed questions that measure specific personality traits, or relatively enduring, personal attributes. The Career Assessment has been in nationwide use for more than 10 years. Thousands of people representing hundreds of organizations have taken it.
The trait dimensions are well established, statistically reliable, and valid for employees in a variety of organizational settings.
Your Profile shows your personal results for 9 trait dimensions. Each dimension has two contrasting ends, like Vigilant versus Optimistic or Empathetic versus Tough-Minded. Assuming you answered the questions candidly, your results reliably indicate your personal style on each dimension. Because this inventory deals with personal style, you can’t fail it. The traits have no “good” or “bad” sides, only stylistic differences like being right- or left-handed. Everyone has best-fit and worst-fit work roles. In any role, a strength over-emphasized is a weakness and a weakness is a source of strength.
