Identity Self-Perception Business Personality Questionnaire Comprehensive ReportPsyAsia International
This report is based on a test candidate's responses to 'identity' - a fully validated psychometric instrument used to gather information about how the candidate sees himself. These self-perceptions are compared with a professional working population (sample size=1083) to provide a measure of personality in relation to others.
(Note, the most-up-to-date sample reports are always available at the PsyAsia website.)
Identity Self-Perception Business Personality Questionnaire Feedback ReportPsyAsia International
This report provides comprehensive information based on a test candidate's responses to the Identity Questionnaire i.e. it is a 'self-perception' report. Important points to note about self-perception information:
- It is not a definitive statement about how the candidate behaves - just an indicator.
- Information relates to the candidate's style and preference not ability.
- It offers a comparative measure of how the candidate sees themselves compared with most other people.
- Although broad patterns can be consistent across time, the candidate's profile can change with experience. Therefore the shelf-life of the information contained in this report is typically 12 months.
- In a recruitment situation, this information should never be used in isolation - it supports other evidence.
(Note, the most-up-to-date sample reports are always available at the PsyAsia website.)
Identity Self-Perception Business Personality Questionnaire Pre Interview ReportPsyAsia International
This report is designed to support an interview. Typically, behavioural questions that focus on what the candidate has personally done in the past are generally the most predictive for future job performance.
(Note, the most-up-to-date sample reports are always available at the PsyAsia website.)
This chapter's focus is on Social Psychology. There is discussion of relationships, persuasion, coercion, and other types of social influence. Love and intimate relationships is also included.
Identity Self-Perception Business Personality Questionnaire Careers ReportPsyAsia International
The Careers Feedback Report can help decision makers gain an insight into a candidate's preferences, style of learning and which vocations may be best suited to their interests. The results are intended to help guide decision makers towards potential careers, occupations or educational programmes that the candidate might enjoy rather than providing a prescription of what the candidate should be doing.
This report has been generated based upon the test candidate's responses to the 'identity' questionnaire i.e. it is a 'self-perception' report. It is important to keep in mind that the report measures the candidate's preferences, not their skills or abilities.
(Note, the most-up-to-date sample reports are always available at the PsyAsia website.)

The case study discusses the potential of drone delivery and the challenges that need to be addressed before it becomes widespread.
Key takeaways:
Drone delivery is in its early stages: Amazon's trial in the UK demonstrates the potential for faster deliveries, but it's still limited by regulations and technology.
Regulations are a major hurdle: Safety concerns around drone collisions with airplanes and people have led to restrictions on flight height and location.
Other challenges exist: Who will use drone delivery the most? Is it cost-effective compared to traditional delivery trucks?
Discussion questions:
Managerial challenges: Integrating drones requires planning for new infrastructure, training staff, and navigating regulations. There are also marketing and recruitment considerations specific to this technology.
External forces vary by country: Regulations, consumer acceptance, and infrastructure all differ between countries.
Demographics matter: Younger generations might be more receptive to drone delivery, while older populations might have concerns.
Stakeholders for Amazon: Customers, regulators, aviation authorities, and competitors are all stakeholders. Regulators likely hold the greatest influence as they determine the feasibility of drone delivery.

Birkman Behavioral Components Descriptions
1. Birkman Behavioral Components
Esteem (self-consciousness)
A construct involving shyness, a sensitivity about correcting others — or being corrected by others,
concerns about embarrassing others — or being embarrassed by others. Esteem addresses how a person
will deal with, or prefers others deal with, approval-related issues (e.g., giving feedback). Esteem also
addresses the manner in which a person engages with others particularly in the early stages of a
relationship.
High scores reflect a Usual Behavior that is more subtle and diplomatic; a Need for more subtlety and
sensitivity from others, and a preference for personally supportive relationships; and, a tendency to
withdraw from the “offending person” or appear overly sensitive when under Stress from others perceived
as too direct or blunt.
Low scores reflect a Usual Behavior that is candid and matter-of-fact; a Need for straightforward
relationships where correction and feedback is free of sentiment or subtleties; and, overly direct behavior
when under Stress from too much subtlety or sensitivity from others.
Acceptance (sociability)
A construct involving talkativeness, enjoyment of groups, enjoyment of social laughter — even at one’s
own expense, and approachability. Similar to the concepts of extraversion, Acceptance addresses the
manner in which a person engages with others in group settings.
High scores reflect a Usual Behavior that is outgoing and gregarious; a Need for group activities and
social engagement; and, a tendency to become more easily swayed by group opinion when under Stress
from being left out or not belonging to the group.

social when under Stress from demands requiring too much social engagement.
Structure (insistence)
A construct involving making and following plans (often detailed plans), finishing tasks, performing
detailed tasks, and using a systematic approach. Structure is related to conscientiousness and addresses
the manner in which a person deals with planning, systems and procedures.
High scores reflect a Usual Behavior that is systematic and detail-oriented; a Need for more detailed
planning and defined tasks; and a tendency to become too constrained by existing plans or procedures
when under Stress from rapid changes in the plan or approach, unpredictability, or perceptions that tasks

Low scores reflect Usual Behavior that is flexible, adaptable, and self-initiating. A Need for more general
planning providing room to decide how something gets executed within a plan; and, a tendency to
become less organized, less clear in giving instructions, and procrastinating when under Stress from
controlling behavior from others or too much detail and control imposed procedurally.
