Part 1 - Understanding this Report
Introduction
This Selection Report describes Wanchen Sun’s suitability
for the Sales Representative position at Toronto. The
information in this report comes first from reviewing the
scores on each of the scales of the Prevue Assessments
that were completed by Wanchen Sun and second from
comparing those scores to the Prevue Benchmark for the
position. Both the scores on the Prevue Assessments and
the comparison of those scores to the Prevue Benchmark
are exhibited graphically in the Prevue Results Graph in Part
2.
Prevue Assessments
The Prevue Results Graph shows Wanchen Sun’s ‘sten’
score on each of the Prevue Assessments scales
considered in the report. A sten score is a candidate’s score
on a normal bell-shaped curve representing the general
working population. The diagram below shows the normal
bell curve divided into standard tenths (‘standard tenths’ is
shortened to ‘sten’) for the Diplomatic vs. Independent
Personality Scale. The diagram also shows the percentage
of the general working population that will typically score in
each sten.
Prevue Benchmark
The Prevue Benchmark shows the preferred characteristics of an employee for a particular position. These characteristics
are displayed as a range of desired sten scores on each scale. This range is shaded and forms the benchmark for the
scale. The candidate's assessment results are shown as circled numbers and compared to the shaded ranges. The
Benchmark Suitability Score is derived from a formula analyzing the candidate's sten scores on the benchmark (circled
score is inside the shaded range) versus those scores that are off the benchmark (circled score is outside the shaded
range).
Example: The benchmark for the Diplomatic vs. Independent scale (shown above) is the shaded range of stens
from 5 to 8. Scores 5,6,7 or 8 will be on the benchmark. Scores of 1,2,3,4,9 and 10 will be off the benchmark.

Part 2 - Prevue Results Graph
Wanchen Sun's scores are shown in the circled numbers on each of the Prevue scales presented below. The Prevue
Benchmark for the Sales Representative position is indicated by the green shaded ranges on each scale, which are preferred
scores for this position. A score inside a shaded range is on the benchmark. A score outside a shaded range is off the
benchmark.

Part 3 - Total Person Description
The Total Person Description provides an overview of Wanchen Sun compared to the general working population.
This profile is derived from the scores shown on the Prevue Results Graph.
Ms. Wanchen Sun has superior numeric skills, coupled with good ability to work with words and shapes. She is well equipped
to do challenging numeric assignments such as creating complex spreadsheets and advanced data tables. Her above average
ability with words means that moderately difficult paperwork, general office duties, and most written material are well within her
scope. She is similarly proficient in tasks that require mental manipulation of shapes and objects. These could include reading
blueprints, interpreting graphs, and following moderately difficult diagrams.
Overall, Wanchen Sun has good, versatile skills. She should learn quickly and can perform well at almost any task in the
workplace.
Ms. Sun is well motivated to work with people, less inclined to work with data, and most interested in working with things. Her
high motivation for tasks involving tools, machinery, and equipment make her an ideal candidate for technical work. Her average
interest in information processing means that she would have to exert herself in data management tasks and when doing any
detailed paperwork. Because she likes to work with others, she should do well in a position requiring social skills.
Ms. Sun is a good team player, assertive yet still considerate of others. Relationships are important to her, and she sees
mutually cooperative efforts as being the most effective. She will put herself forward in some situations but not so far as to
compromise team spirit. With appropriate encouragement, Ms. Sun can assume the role of group leader. She can deal with
confrontation except in the most extreme cases. She will often be outspoken but, in very competitive situations with new
acquaintances, Wanchen Sun is more likely to defer to others.
Wanchen Sun generally operates within established policies and procedures. When necessary, however, she can be flexible and
innovative. She is less flexible in the area of scheduling as she prefers to have a plan with a fair degree of detail. This is a strong
combination, Ms. Sun has the consistency and time management that is the foundation of productivity for most organizations,
while at the same time she can adapt to unusual needs or changing circumstances.
Wanchen Sun requires continual social stimulation and only rarely does she feel a need to be by herself. Extended periods of
solitude will be frustrating for her. Often wanting to be in the spotlight, she will usually lead any discussion but she is not inclined
to take the role of leader all the time in every activity. She enjoys meeting new people and exploring new ideas. She often acts
impulsively and long-term assignments must include variety or else she will lose interest. Ms. Sun will not tolerate a great deal of
monotony and she will thrive on challenging assignments, particularly if these contain an element of risk.
Wanchen Sun is generally rational and calm. She can take criticism quite well and, because she strives to be objective, she is
usually able to shrug off rejection and continue with her work. Most times she is relaxed and able to cope well with pressure but
can become anxious when things do not go well. Although she can work on demanding, high-pressure projects that require
dealing with people openly and objectively, Ms. Sun may feel some anxiety in such circumstances.

Caution: This score in Frank resulted from one of two reasons. The first could be Ms. Sun is describing herself as having only
certain socially desirable attributes. On the other hand it could indicate she is presenting a negative impression of herself.

Introduction
This section of the Prevue Selection Report provides
information on Wanchen Sun’s approach to a number of
work related subjects that can significantly impact job
performance. A manager can use this information to better
understand this candidate’s natural response to these

Page 15
Focus on Work
WORKS TO LIVE (1) vs. LIVES TO WORK (10):
The Focus on Work scale provides information on the importance of work to Ms. Sun.
Some see work as a means to an end while others define themselves by their work. Work is important to Wanchen Sun but not at the expense of home or
family. If conflicts arise between home and work, her personal life may take priority. Long or irregular working hours could be inconvenient for her. Leading a
full social and business life, she may sometimes be overextended but the social skills she develops in her leisure activities should translate well to business.

          
Compliance
QUESTIONS RULES (1) vs. ADHERES TO RULES (10):
The Compliance scale identifies an individual’s inclination to adhere to rules set by an employer and resist the temptation of intentionally
engaging in behaviors that are considered to be detrimental to an organization’s productivity or workforce attitudes.
Wanchen Sun likes variety and challenge, and often prefers a minimally structured work environment. If rules and procedures seem to hinder expediency,
this person may question or even disregard some guidelines to achieve goals. Wanchen Sun seeks new experiences and will be inclined to tackle work in a
personal way rather than following a set protocol or established practice. Completing frequent routine or repetitive tasks may be difficult to tolerate for this
person. They tend to improvise, be impulsive, and take risks. Wanchen Sun could resent long working hours and may react negatively to heavy pressure.
This could include carelessness, moodiness, or disruptive behavior such as finding fault in others. Under heavy stress, Wanchen Sun could be less attentive
and less motivated to follow the rules than more compliant employees.

          
Compensation Preference
FIXED SALARY (1) vs. COMMISSION/BONUS (10):
The Compensation Preference scale identifies whether Wanchen Sun is more motivated to work by a secure salary or by performance
based remuneration.
Wanchen Sun slightly prefers bonus or commission over a fixed salary, but she will readily agree to a blended package of compensation. If a sizable portion
of her compensation is steady income rather than the excitement of profit-sharing or performance-based earnings, she may need some support to accept
this. However, she will not risk things of real importance. She likes the challenge of new ventures as long as she can think things through and be ready for
potential problems.

          
Approach to Risk Taking
CAREFUL (1) vs. DARING (10):
This Approach to Risk scale is measured from 1 for avoidance of risky behavior to 10 for willingness to engage in risk.
Wanchen Sun may prefer swift and irregular solutions, but she will curb this tendency if circumstances demand sound planning. She is inclined to operate
on the premise that the end justifies the means, but she rarely behaves recklessly. Generally, she will avoid reflexive decisions and will want to balance
risks with benefits. Clients will approve her willingness to make quick decisions and her ad hoc approach to problem-solving.

          
Preference for Change
LIKES ROUTINE (1) vs. LIKES CHANGE (10):
This scale identifies where Ms. Sun fits in the continuum between a structured environment with a fixed routine and a dynamic fast changing
working environment.
Wanchen Sun usually enjoys change and values innovation. Given mundane tasks, she will look for new ways to deal with routine work. She prefers to take
control of events and will react proactively to new trends. She may tend to seek change for its inherent excitement, rather than because it is necessary.
Wanchen Sun Sales Representative
Page 16
Approach to New Ventures
CAUTIOUS (1) vs. OPTIMISTIC (10):
This scale distinguishes those who approach new ventures or issues with caution from those who approach new ventures with optimism.
Where others might see risk, Wanchen Sun is more inclined to see opportunity. For her, the business world is usually an exciting place with only a few real
dangers. Consequently, she tends to trust others and will give them latitude. Being largely optimistic about new ventures, she prefers to act fast and try
novel ways to boost performance and productivity.

          
Task vs. Person Focused
TASK FOCUSED (1) vs. PERSON FOCUSED (10):
This team characteristic scale distinguishes those who focus on the needs of the task or project in hand from those who are focused on
their own and their team members’ needs.
With more focus on people than on the task in hand, Wanchen Sun tends to be friendly and easy-going at work. This person enjoys a moderately busy
environment, with more variety than routine, and frequent contact with others. Usually frank and objective, Wanchen is a good communicator but does not
need to be the center of attention all the time. When job performance depends on collaboration or interaction with others, effective concentration on people
is the best asset Wanchen Sun brings to a team.

          
Self vs. Relationship Focused
SELF FOCUSED (1) vs. RELATIONSHIP FOCUSED (10):
This team characteristic scale distinguishes those who are self focused from those who are inclined to focus on others on the team.
With balanced focus on both relationships and self, Wanchen Sun is equally productive working with people and working alone. This person will collaborate
and take an interest in others’ views yet still compete to reach an individual goal. Forthright and generally self-aware, this person is moderately assured in
company and readily accepted by most people. If necessary for team spirit and collaboration, Wanchen will usually adjust personal plans. Wanchen Sun
tends to perform best when there is room for compromise as well as some recognition for individual achievement.

          
Aspects of Assertiveness
SUBMISSIVE (1) vs. ASSERTIVE (10):
This personality scale influences a person's response to the following important work situations or circumstances:
LEADERSHIP STYLE - DEMOCRATIC (1) vs. COMMANDING (10):
Leadership Style is measured from 1 for those who prefer a nurturing style of leadership to 10 for those who are naturally inclined to a more
demanding Leadership Style.
Wanchen Sun has a nearly balanced approach to leadership with a moderate inclination to be explicit and directive. In a crisis, she can take command and
make certain that the team knows what must be done and when. On the other hand, when a gentle approach is needed, she will function as the guide on
the side with a more democratic style.
APPROACH TO LISTENING - SYMPATHETIC (1) vs. CONTROLLING (10):
The Approach to Listening scale is measured from 1 for a person who is an exceptionally sympathetic listener to 10 for a person who tends
to dominate a conversation.
Wanchen Sun tends to be enthusiastic about her own ideas and sometimes leaves little opportunity for others to express theirs. Being outspoken and
self-confident, she may well talk for others if they hesitate to speak. Similarly, if peers or subordinates are strident, she may only hear the tone of their words
and could miss their meaning. She could be encouraged to develop her active listening skills such as paraphrasing, questioning, and neutral repetition.
Setting specific goals to promote more dialogue would increase the involvement and contributions of others.
APPROACH TO CONFLICT - ACCOMMODATING (1) vs. FORCEFUL (10):
This scale distinguishes those who avoid conflict by being accommodating from those who are forceful in their approach to conflict.
While Wanchen Sun does not lack soft skills, she prefers a direct, even somewhat forceful, approach to conflict. Because she is sure of herself, she is
efficient in debate and confrontation and will only occasionally be worn down by the impact of others. In highly-charged, emotional situations, she should be
able to switch to a more moderate, accommodating style of conflict resolution.

Part 7 - Best Practice Information
Assessment Administration: Best Human
Resources practice recommends that assessments
be administered to candidates in a controlled
environment under the supervision of a proctor to
ensure that:
The person who completes the assessment is in
fact the candidate.
A candidate’s responses to the assessment
questions are not affected by collusion with others
or by other actions that would invalidate the
assessment.
The supervisor is able to address unexpected
conditions or problems affecting a candidate and
to provide reasonable accommodation for
candidates where required.
Where a candidate completes the assessments
without supervision the accuracy of the results
cannot be guaranteed. In such circumstances you
may wish to have the candidate retake the Prevue
Assessments in a controlled environment at the time
they attend your offices for an interview. For more
information on the administration of the Prevue
Assessment, please see “Administering the Prevue
Assessments” in the Prevue How To Guides posted
at www.prevueonline.com.
Assessment Weighting: The weight given to the
Prevue Assessments in any human resource
selection or other high stakes decision should not
exceed one-third of the total decision making
process. The remainder of the process, including the
candidate’s work history, interview, background
checks, etc., should be considered together with the
results of this report.
Ensuring Fairness: When properly administered,
the use of the Prevue Assessments will help to
ensure that job applicants are treated fairly without
regard to race, colour, religion, sex or national origin.
The Prevue Assessments have been designed and
developed to conform to the human rights legislative
and best practice requirements prevailing in the
various countries where the Prevue Assessments are
distributed. This includes the EEOC Guidelines, the
Americans With Disabilities Act, and the standards
for test development published by the American
Psychological Association, the British Psychological
Society, and the Association of Test Publishers.

Part 1 - Understanding this Report
Introduction
This Selection Report describes Wanchen Sun’s suitability
for the Sales Representative position at Toronto. The
information in this report comes first from reviewing the
scores on each of the scales of the Prevue Assessments
that were completed by Wanchen Sun and second from
comparing those scores to the Prevue Benchmark for the
position. Both the scores on the Prevue Assessments and
the comparison of those scores to the Prevue Benchmark
are exhibited graphically in the Prevue Results Graph in Part
2.
Prevue Assessments
The Prevue Results Graph shows Wanchen Sun’s ‘sten’
score on each of the Prevue Assessments scales
considered in the report. A sten score is a candidate’s score
on a normal bell-shaped curve representing the general
working population. The diagram below shows the normal
bell curve divided into standard tenths (‘standard tenths’ is
shortened to ‘sten’) for the Diplomatic vs. Independent
Personality Scale. The diagram also shows the percentage
of the general working population that will typically score in
each sten.
Prevue Benchmark
The Prevue Benchmark shows the preferred characteristics of an employee for a particular position. These characteristics
are displayed as a range of desired sten scores on each scale. This range is shaded and forms the benchmark for the
scale. The candidate's assessment results are shown as circled numbers and compared to the shaded ranges. The
Benchmark Suitability Score is derived from a formula analyzing the candidate's sten scores on the benchmark (circled
score is inside the shaded range) versus those scores that are off the benchmark (circled score is outside the shaded
range).
Example: The benchmark for the Diplomatic vs. Independent scale (shown above) is the shaded range of stens
from 5 to 8. Scores 5,6,7 or 8 will be on the benchmark. Scores of 1,2,3,4,9 and 10 will be off the benchmark.

Part 2 - Prevue Results Graph

Benchmark for the Sales Representative position is indicated by the green shaded ranges on each scale, which are preferred

benchmark.

Part 3 - Total Person Description
The Total Person Description provides an overview of Wanchen Sun compared to the general working population.
This profile is derived from the scores shown on the Prevue Results Graph.
Ms. Wanchen Sun has superior numeric skills, coupled with good ability to work with words and shapes. She is well equipped
to do challenging numeric assignments such as creating complex spreadsheets and advanced data tables. Her above average
ability with words means that moderately difficult paperwork, general office duties, and most written material are well within her
scope. She is similarly proficient in tasks that require mental manipulation of shapes and objects. These could include reading
blueprints, interpreting graphs, and following moderately difficult diagrams.
Overall, Wanchen Sun has good, versatile skills. She should learn quickly and can perform well at almost any task in the
workplace.
Ms. Sun is well motivated to work with people, less inclined to work with data, and most interested in working with things. Her
high motivation for tasks involving tools, machinery, and equipment make her an ideal candidate for technical work. Her average
interest in information processing means that she would have to exert herself in data management tasks and when doing any
detailed paperwork. Because she likes to work with others, she should do well in a position requiring social skills.
Ms. Sun is a good team player, assertive yet still considerate of others. Relationships are important to her, and she sees
mutually cooperative efforts as being the most effective. She will put herself forward in some situations but not so far as to
compromise team spirit. With appropriate encouragement, Ms. Sun can assume the role of group leader. She can deal with
confrontation except in the most extreme cases. She will often be outspoken but, in very competitive situations with new
acquaintances, Wanchen Sun is more likely to defer to others.
Wanchen Sun generally operates within established policies and procedures. When necessary, however, she can be flexible and
innovative. She is less flexible in the area of scheduling as she prefers to have a plan with a fair degree of detail. This is a strong
combination, Ms. Sun has the consistency and time management that is the foundation of productivity for most organizations,
while at the same time she can adapt to unusual needs or changing circumstances.
Wanchen Sun requires continual social stimulation and only rarely does she feel a need to be by herself. Extended periods of
solitude will be frustrating for her. Often wanting to be in the spotlight, she will usually lead any discussion but she is not inclined
to take the role of leader all the time in every activity. She enjoys meeting new people and exploring new ideas. She often acts
impulsively and long-term assignments must include variety or else she will lose interest. Ms. Sun will not tolerate a great deal of
monotony and she will thrive on challenging assignments, particularly if these contain an element of risk.
Wanchen Sun is generally rational and calm. She can take criticism quite well and, because she strives to be objective, she is
usually able to shrug off rejection and continue with her work. Most times she is relaxed and able to cope well with pressure but
can become anxious when things do not go well. Although she can work on demanding, high-pressure projects that require
dealing with people openly and objectively, Ms. Sun may feel some anxiety in such circumstances.

certain socially desirable attributes. On the other hand it could indicate she is presenting a negative impression of herself.

performance. A manager can use this information to better

Page 15
Focus on Work
WORKS TO LIVE (1) vs. LIVES TO WORK (10):
The Focus on Work scale provides information on the importance of work to Ms. Sun.
Some see work as a means to an end while others define themselves by their work. Work is important to Wanchen Sun but not at the expense of home or
family. If conflicts arise between home and work, her personal life may take priority. Long or irregular working hours could be inconvenient for her. Leading a
full social and business life, she may sometimes be overextended but the social skills she develops in her leisure activities should translate well to business.

          
Compliance
QUESTIONS RULES (1) vs. ADHERES TO RULES (10):
The Compliance scale identifies an individual’s inclination to adhere to rules set by an employer and resist the temptation of intentionally
engaging in behaviors that are considered to be detrimental to an organization’s productivity or workforce attitudes.
Wanchen Sun likes variety and challenge, and often prefers a minimally structured work environment. If rules and procedures seem to hinder expediency,
this person may question or even disregard some guidelines to achieve goals. Wanchen Sun seeks new experiences and will be inclined to tackle work in a
personal way rather than following a set protocol or established practice. Completing frequent routine or repetitive tasks may be difficult to tolerate for this
person. They tend to improvise, be impulsive, and take risks. Wanchen Sun could resent long working hours and may react negatively to heavy pressure.
This could include carelessness, moodiness, or disruptive behavior such as finding fault in others. Under heavy stress, Wanchen Sun could be less attentive
and less motivated to follow the rules than more compliant employees.

          
Compensation Preference
FIXED SALARY (1) vs. COMMISSION/BONUS (10):
The Compensation Preference scale identifies whether Wanchen Sun is more motivated to work by a secure salary or by performance
based remuneration.
Wanchen Sun slightly prefers bonus or commission over a fixed salary, but she will readily agree to a blended package of compensation. If a sizable portion
of her compensation is steady income rather than the excitement of profit-sharing or performance-based earnings, she may need some support to accept
this. However, she will not risk things of real importance. She likes the challenge of new ventures as long as she can think things through and be ready for
potential problems.

          
Approach to Risk Taking
CAREFUL (1) vs. DARING (10):
This Approach to Risk scale is measured from 1 for avoidance of risky behavior to 10 for willingness to engage in risk.
Wanchen Sun may prefer swift and irregular solutions, but she will curb this tendency if circumstances demand sound planning. She is inclined to operate
on the premise that the end justifies the means, but she rarely behaves recklessly. Generally, she will avoid reflexive decisions and will want to balance
risks with benefits. Clients will approve her willingness to make quick decisions and her ad hoc approach to problem-solving.

          
Preference for Change
LIKES ROUTINE (1) vs. LIKES CHANGE (10):
This scale identifies where Ms. Sun fits in the continuum between a structured environment with a fixed routine and a dynamic fast changing
working environment.
Wanchen Sun usually enjoys change and values innovation. Given mundane tasks, she will look for new ways to deal with routine work. She prefers to take
control of events and will react proactively to new trends. She may tend to seek change for its inherent excitement, rather than because it is necessary.
Wanchen Sun Sales Representative
Page 16
Approach to New Ventures
CAUTIOUS (1) vs. OPTIMISTIC (10):
This scale distinguishes those who approach new ventures or issues with caution from those who approach new ventures with optimism.
Where others might see risk, Wanchen Sun is more inclined to see opportunity. For her, the business world is usually an exciting place with only a few real
dangers. Consequently, she tends to trust others and will give them latitude. Being largely optimistic about new ventures, she prefers to act fast and try
novel ways to boost performance and productivity.

          
Task vs. Person Focused
TASK FOCUSED (1) vs. PERSON FOCUSED (10):
This team characteristic scale distinguishes those who focus on the needs of the task or project in hand from those who are focused on
their own and their team members’ needs.
With more focus on people than on the task in hand, Wanchen Sun tends to be friendly and easy-going at work. This person enjoys a moderately busy
environment, with more variety than routine, and frequent contact with others. Usually frank and objective, Wanchen is a good communicator but does not
need to be the center of attention all the time. When job performance depends on collaboration or interaction with others, effective concentration on people
is the best asset Wanchen Sun brings to a team.

          
Self vs. Relationship Focused
SELF FOCUSED (1) vs. RELATIONSHIP FOCUSED (10):
This team characteristic scale distinguishes those who are self focused from those who are inclined to focus on others on the team.
With balanced focus on both relationships and self, Wanchen Sun is equally productive working with people and working alone. This person will collaborate
and take an interest in others’ views yet still compete to reach an individual goal. Forthright and generally self-aware, this person is moderately assured in
company and readily accepted by most people. If necessary for team spirit and collaboration, Wanchen will usually adjust personal plans. Wanchen Sun
tends to perform best when there is room for compromise as well as some recognition for individual achievement.

          
Aspects of Assertiveness
SUBMISSIVE (1) vs. ASSERTIVE (10):
This personality scale influences a person's response to the following important work situations or circumstances:
LEADERSHIP STYLE - DEMOCRATIC (1) vs. COMMANDING (10):
Leadership Style is measured from 1 for those who prefer a nurturing style of leadership to 10 for those who are naturally inclined to a more
demanding Leadership Style.
Wanchen Sun has a nearly balanced approach to leadership with a moderate inclination to be explicit and directive. In a crisis, she can take command and
make certain that the team knows what must be done and when. On the other hand, when a gentle approach is needed, she will function as the guide on
the side with a more democratic style.
APPROACH TO LISTENING - SYMPATHETIC (1) vs. CONTROLLING (10):
The Approach to Listening scale is measured from 1 for a person who is an exceptionally sympathetic listener to 10 for a person who tends
to dominate a conversation.
Wanchen Sun tends to be enthusiastic about her own ideas and sometimes leaves little opportunity for others to express theirs. Being outspoken and
self-confident, she may well talk for others if they hesitate to speak. Similarly, if peers or subordinates are strident, she may only hear the tone of their words
and could miss their meaning. She could be encouraged to develop her active listening skills such as paraphrasing, questioning, and neutral repetition.
Setting specific goals to promote more dialogue would increase the involvement and contributions of others.
APPROACH TO CONFLICT - ACCOMMODATING (1) vs. FORCEFUL (10):
This scale distinguishes those who avoid conflict by being accommodating from those who are forceful in their approach to conflict.
While Wanchen Sun does not lack soft skills, she prefers a direct, even somewhat forceful, approach to conflict. Because she is sure of herself, she is
efficient in debate and confrontation and will only occasionally be worn down by the impact of others. In highly-charged, emotional situations, she should be
able to switch to a more moderate, accommodating style of conflict resolution.

Part 7 - Best Practice Information
Assessment Administration: Best Human
Resources practice recommends that assessments
be administered to candidates in a controlled
environment under the supervision of a proctor to
ensure that:
The person who completes the assessment is in
fact the candidate.
A candidate’s responses to the assessment
questions are not affected by collusion with others
or by other actions that would invalidate the
assessment.
The supervisor is able to address unexpected
conditions or problems affecting a candidate and
to provide reasonable accommodation for
candidates where required.
Where a candidate completes the assessments
without supervision the accuracy of the results
cannot be guaranteed. In such circumstances you
may wish to have the candidate retake the Prevue
Assessments in a controlled environment at the time
they attend your offices for an interview. For more
information on the administration of the Prevue
Assessment, please see “Administering the Prevue
Assessments” in the Prevue How To Guides posted
at www.prevueonline.com.
Assessment Weighting: The weight given to the
Prevue Assessments in any human resource
selection or other high stakes decision should not
exceed one-third of the total decision making
process. The remainder of the process, including the
candidate’s work history, interview, background
checks, etc., should be considered together with the
results of this report.
Ensuring Fairness: When properly administered,
the use of the Prevue Assessments will help to
ensure that job applicants are treated fairly without
regard to race, colour, religion, sex or national origin.
The Prevue Assessments have been designed and
developed to conform to the human rights legislative
and best practice requirements prevailing in the
various countries where the Prevue Assessments are
distributed. This includes the EEOC Guidelines, the
Americans With Disabilities Act, and the standards
for test development published by the American
Psychological Association, the British Psychological
Society, and the Association of Test Publishers.

  • 2. Sales Representative Wanchen Sun Page 3 Part 1 - Understanding this Report Introduction This Selection Report describes Wanchen Sun’s suitability for the Sales Representative position at Toronto. The information in this report comes first from reviewing the scores on each of the scales of the Prevue Assessments that were completed by Wanchen Sun and second from comparing those scores to the Prevue Benchmark for the position. Both the scores on the Prevue Assessments and the comparison of those scores to the Prevue Benchmark are exhibited graphically in the Prevue Results Graph in Part 2. Prevue Assessments The Prevue Results Graph shows Wanchen Sun’s ‘sten’ score on each of the Prevue Assessments scales considered in the report. A sten score is a candidate’s score on a normal bell-shaped curve representing the general working population. The diagram below shows the normal bell curve divided into standard tenths (‘standard tenths’ is shortened to ‘sten’) for the Diplomatic vs. Independent Personality Scale. The diagram also shows the percentage of the general working population that will typically score in each sten. Prevue Benchmark The Prevue Benchmark shows the preferred characteristics of an employee for a particular position. These characteristics are displayed as a range of desired sten scores on each scale. This range is shaded and forms the benchmark for the scale. The candidate's assessment results are shown as circled numbers and compared to the shaded ranges. The Benchmark Suitability Score is derived from a formula analyzing the candidate's sten scores on the benchmark (circled score is inside the shaded range) versus those scores that are off the benchmark (circled score is outside the shaded range). Example: The benchmark for the Diplomatic vs. Independent scale (shown above) is the shaded range of stens from 5 to 8. Scores 5,6,7 or 8 will be on the benchmark. Scores of 1,2,3,4,9 and 10 will be off the benchmark.
  • 3. Wanchen Sun Sales Representative Page 4 Part 2 - Prevue Results Graph Wanchen Sun's scores are shown in the circled numbers on each of the Prevue scales presented below. The Prevue Benchmark for the Sales Representative position is indicated by the green shaded ranges on each scale, which are preferred scores for this position. A score inside a shaded range is on the benchmark. A score outside a shaded range is off the benchmark.

  • 4. Sales Representative Wanchen Sun Page 5 Part 3 - Total Person Description The Total Person Description provides an overview of Wanchen Sun compared to the general working population. This profile is derived from the scores shown on the Prevue Results Graph. Ms. Wanchen Sun has superior numeric skills, coupled with good ability to work with words and shapes. She is well equipped to do challenging numeric assignments such as creating complex spreadsheets and advanced data tables. Her above average ability with words means that moderately difficult paperwork, general office duties, and most written material are well within her scope. She is similarly proficient in tasks that require mental manipulation of shapes and objects. These could include reading blueprints, interpreting graphs, and following moderately difficult diagrams. Overall, Wanchen Sun has good, versatile skills. She should learn quickly and can perform well at almost any task in the workplace. Ms. Sun is well motivated to work with people, less inclined to work with data, and most interested in working with things. Her high motivation for tasks involving tools, machinery, and equipment make her an ideal candidate for technical work. Her average interest in information processing means that she would have to exert herself in data management tasks and when doing any detailed paperwork. Because she likes to work with others, she should do well in a position requiring social skills. Ms. Sun is a good team player, assertive yet still considerate of others. Relationships are important to her, and she sees mutually cooperative efforts as being the most effective. She will put herself forward in some situations but not so far as to compromise team spirit. With appropriate encouragement, Ms. Sun can assume the role of group leader. She can deal with confrontation except in the most extreme cases. She will often be outspoken but, in very competitive situations with new acquaintances, Wanchen Sun is more likely to defer to others. Wanchen Sun generally operates within established policies and procedures. When necessary, however, she can be flexible and innovative. She is less flexible in the area of scheduling as she prefers to have a plan with a fair degree of detail. This is a strong combination, Ms. Sun has the consistency and time management that is the foundation of productivity for most organizations, while at the same time she can adapt to unusual needs or changing circumstances. Wanchen Sun requires continual social stimulation and only rarely does she feel a need to be by herself. Extended periods of solitude will be frustrating for her. Often wanting to be in the spotlight, she will usually lead any discussion but she is not inclined to take the role of leader all the time in every activity. She enjoys meeting new people and exploring new ideas. She often acts impulsively and long-term assignments must include variety or else she will lose interest. Ms. Sun will not tolerate a great deal of monotony and she will thrive on challenging assignments, particularly if these contain an element of risk. Wanchen Sun is generally rational and calm. She can take criticism quite well and, because she strives to be objective, she is usually able to shrug off rejection and continue with her work. Most times she is relaxed and able to cope well with pressure but can become anxious when things do not go well. Although she can work on demanding, high-pressure projects that require dealing with people openly and objectively, Ms. Sun may feel some anxiety in such circumstances.

  • 10. Sales Representative Wanchen Sun Page 11 Working With Data Ms. Sun has some interest in working with data. Such a person may be able to relate and balance this limited interest in data to those tasks in the job that require working with people or working with machinery and equipment. She would not necessarily feel the need to work with data to form the major part of her job. Working With Things Wanchen Sun has a high level of interest in work that involves inanimate objects such as machinery, tools and equipment.

She will seek new methods to solve problems. Reactive / Organized Although she usually regards herself as organized and able to work in a controlled manner, these qualities can be altered in some situations. For the most part, she will be reliable, working best in a planned environment. Introvert / Extrovert Ms. Wanchen Sun is a sociable and talkative individual, who seeks out others for stimulation and company. Ms. Sun enjoys being the center of attention. She is generally energetic, while enjoying a lively environment. Others tend to see her as high-spirited and impulsive. Self-Sufficient / Group-Oriented She is a sociable person who desires to be supported by others in a lively environment. A quiet time alone to reflect and recover is the exception rather than the rule. She is also happiest in work situations where she has considerable contact with others. Reserved / Outgoing Wanchen Sun is an outgoing, talkative individual, who wants to be the center of attention. Such people enjoy risky, action-packed, challenging jobs. They act impulsively and quickly become bored with repetitive work. She may be enthusiastically verbal to the point of not allowing others to express their opinion. Emotional / Stable In most situations, Wanchen Sun accepts people in a calm and stable manner. There will be circumstances when she becomes apprehensive and emotional, even wary about some people, particularly their motives.

Excitable / Relaxed This is a person who remains calm and relaxed in response to normal situations. For the most part, such people are able to manage their problems without undue anxiety. Occasionally, they will not always assume the best of other people, and will feel the need to check their motives. However, any level of suspicion or stress is likely to be moderate. Social Desirability Individuals like Wanchen Sun are accepting of their own mistakes and do not feel the need to deny them. Given this level of score, there is no reason to believe Ms. Sun has not presented a frank picture of herself on the other scales.
  • 13. Wanchen Sun Sales Representative Page 14 Part 6 - Approach to Work Introduction This section of the Prevue Selection Report provides information on Wanchen Sun’s approach to a number of work related subjects that can significantly impact job performance. A manager can use this information to better understand this candidate’s natural response to these important work requirements or situations and overall suitability for the Sales Representative position. Each of the Approach to Work scales addressed in this section is derived from one or a composite of the Prevue Personality scales reviewed in the Total Person and Individual Characteristics sections of this report.

  • 14. Sales Representative Wanchen Sun Page 15 Focus on Work WORKS TO LIVE (1) vs. LIVES TO WORK (10): The Focus on Work scale provides information on the importance of work to Ms. Sun. Some see work as a means to an end while others define themselves by their work. Work is important to Wanchen Sun but not at the expense of home or family. If conflicts arise between home and work, her personal life may take priority. Long or irregular working hours could be inconvenient for her. Leading a full social and business life, she may sometimes be overextended but the social skills she develops in her leisure activities should translate well to business. Compliance QUESTIONS RULES (1) vs. ADHERES TO RULES (10): The Compliance scale identifies an individual’s inclination to adhere to rules set by an employer and resist the temptation of intentionally engaging in behaviors that are considered to be detrimental to an organization’s productivity or workforce attitudes. Wanchen Sun likes variety and challenge, and often prefers a minimally structured work environment. If rules and procedures seem to hinder expediency, this person may question or even disregard some guidelines to achieve goals. Wanchen Sun seeks new experiences and will be inclined to tackle work in a personal way rather than following a set protocol or established practice. Completing frequent routine or repetitive tasks may be difficult to tolerate for this person. They tend to improvise, be impulsive, and take risks. Wanchen Sun could resent long working hours and may react negatively to heavy pressure. This could include carelessness, moodiness, or disruptive behavior such as finding fault in others. Under heavy stress, Wanchen Sun could be less attentive and less motivated to follow the rules than more compliant employees. Compensation Preference FIXED SALARY (1) vs. COMMISSION/BONUS (10): The Compensation Preference scale identifies whether Wanchen Sun is more motivated to work by a secure salary or by performance based remuneration. Wanchen Sun slightly prefers bonus or commission over a fixed salary, but she will readily agree to a blended package of compensation. If a sizable portion of her compensation is steady income rather than the excitement of profit-sharing or performance-based earnings, she may need some support to accept this. However, she will not risk things of real importance. She likes the challenge of new ventures as long as she can think things through and be ready for potential problems. Approach to Risk Taking CAREFUL (1) vs. DARING (10): This Approach to Risk scale is measured from 1 for avoidance of risky behavior to 10 for willingness to engage in risk. Wanchen Sun may prefer swift and irregular solutions, but she will curb this tendency if circumstances demand sound planning. She is inclined to operate on the premise that the end justifies the means, but she rarely behaves recklessly. Generally, she will avoid reflexive decisions and will want to balance risks with benefits. Clients will approve her willingness to make quick decisions and her ad hoc approach to problem-solving. Preference for Change LIKES ROUTINE (1) vs. LIKES CHANGE (10): This scale identifies where Ms. Sun fits in the continuum between a structured environment with a fixed routine and a dynamic fast changing working environment. Wanchen Sun usually enjoys change and values innovation. Given mundane tasks, she will look for new ways to deal with routine work. She prefers to take control of events and will react proactively to new trends. She may tend to seek change for its inherent excitement, rather than because it is necessary.
  • 15. Wanchen Sun Sales Representative Page 16 Approach to New Ventures CAUTIOUS (1) vs. OPTIMISTIC (10): This scale distinguishes those who approach new ventures or issues with caution from those who approach new ventures with optimism. Where others might see risk, Wanchen Sun is more inclined to see opportunity. For her, the business world is usually an exciting place with only a few real dangers. Consequently, she tends to trust others and will give them latitude. Being largely optimistic about new ventures, she prefers to act fast and try novel ways to boost performance and productivity. Task vs. Person Focused TASK FOCUSED (1) vs. PERSON FOCUSED (10): This team characteristic scale distinguishes those who focus on the needs of the task or project in hand from those who are focused on their own and their team members’ needs. With more focus on people than on the task in hand, Wanchen Sun tends to be friendly and easy-going at work. This person enjoys a moderately busy environment, with more variety than routine, and frequent contact with others. Usually frank and objective, Wanchen is a good communicator but does not need to be the center of attention all the time. When job performance depends on collaboration or interaction with others, effective concentration on people is the best asset Wanchen Sun brings to a team. Self vs. Relationship Focused SELF FOCUSED (1) vs. RELATIONSHIP FOCUSED (10): This team characteristic scale distinguishes those who are self focused from those who are inclined to focus on others on the team. With balanced focus on both relationships and self, Wanchen Sun is equally productive working with people and working alone. This person will collaborate and take an interest in others’ views yet still compete to reach an individual goal. Forthright and generally self-aware, this person is moderately assured in company and readily accepted by most people. If necessary for team spirit and collaboration, Wanchen will usually adjust personal plans. Wanchen Sun tends to perform best when there is room for compromise as well as some recognition for individual achievement. Aspects of Assertiveness SUBMISSIVE (1) vs. ASSERTIVE (10): This personality scale influences a person's response to the following important work situations or circumstances: LEADERSHIP STYLE - DEMOCRATIC (1) vs. COMMANDING (10): Leadership Style is measured from 1 for those who prefer a nurturing style of leadership to 10 for those who are naturally inclined to a more demanding Leadership Style. Wanchen Sun has a nearly balanced approach to leadership with a moderate inclination to be explicit and directive. In a crisis, she can take command and make certain that the team knows what must be done and when. On the other hand, when a gentle approach is needed, she will function as the guide on the side with a more democratic style. APPROACH TO LISTENING - SYMPATHETIC (1) vs. CONTROLLING (10): The Approach to Listening scale is measured from 1 for a person who is an exceptionally sympathetic listener to 10 for a person who tends to dominate a conversation. Wanchen Sun tends to be enthusiastic about her own ideas and sometimes leaves little opportunity for others to express theirs. Being outspoken and self-confident, she may well talk for others if they hesitate to speak. Similarly, if peers or subordinates are strident, she may only hear the tone of their words and could miss their meaning. She could be encouraged to develop her active listening skills such as paraphrasing, questioning, and neutral repetition. Setting specific goals to promote more dialogue would increase the involvement and contributions of others. APPROACH TO CONFLICT - ACCOMMODATING (1) vs. FORCEFUL (10): This scale distinguishes those who avoid conflict by being accommodating from those who are forceful in their approach to conflict. While Wanchen Sun does not lack soft skills, she prefers a direct, even somewhat forceful, approach to conflict. Because she is sure of herself, she is efficient in debate and confrontation and will only occasionally be worn down by the impact of others. In highly-charged, emotional situations, she should be able to switch to a more moderate, accommodating style of conflict resolution.

  • 18. Sales Representative Wanchen Sun Page 3 Part 1 - Understanding this Report Introduction This Selection Report describes Wanchen Sun’s suitability for the Sales Representative position at Toronto. The information in this report comes first from reviewing the scores on each of the scales of the Prevue Assessments that were completed by Wanchen Sun and second from comparing those scores to the Prevue Benchmark for the position. Both the scores on the Prevue Assessments and the comparison of those scores to the Prevue Benchmark are exhibited graphically in the Prevue Results Graph in Part 2. Prevue Assessments The Prevue Results Graph shows Wanchen Sun’s ‘sten’ score on each of the Prevue Assessments scales considered in the report. A sten score is a candidate’s score on a normal bell-shaped curve representing the general working population. The diagram below shows the normal bell curve divided into standard tenths (‘standard tenths’ is shortened to ‘sten’) for the Diplomatic vs. Independent Personality Scale. The diagram also shows the percentage of the general working population that will typically score in each sten. Prevue Benchmark The Prevue Benchmark shows the preferred characteristics of an employee for a particular position. These characteristics are displayed as a range of desired sten scores on each scale. This range is shaded and forms the benchmark for the scale. The candidate's assessment results are shown as circled numbers and compared to the shaded ranges. The Benchmark Suitability Score is derived from a formula analyzing the candidate's sten scores on the benchmark (circled score is inside the shaded range) versus those scores that are off the benchmark (circled score is outside the shaded range). Example: The benchmark for the Diplomatic vs. Independent scale (shown above) is the shaded range of stens from 5 to 8. Scores 5,6,7 or 8 will be on the benchmark. Scores of 1,2,3,4,9 and 10 will be off the benchmark.

This profile is derived from the scores shown on the Prevue Results Graph. Ms. Wanchen Sun has superior numeric skills, coupled with good ability to work with words and shapes. She is well equipped to do challenging numeric assignments such as creating complex spreadsheets and advanced data tables. Her above average ability with words means that moderately difficult paperwork, general office duties, and most written material are well within her scope. She is similarly proficient in tasks that require mental manipulation of shapes and objects. These could include reading blueprints, interpreting graphs, and following moderately difficult diagrams. Overall, Wanchen Sun has good, versatile skills. She should learn quickly and can perform well at almost any task in the workplace. Ms. Sun is well motivated to work with people, less inclined to work with data, and most interested in working with things. Her high motivation for tasks involving tools, machinery, and equipment make her an ideal candidate for technical work. Her average interest in information processing means that she would have to exert herself in data management tasks and when doing any detailed paperwork. Because she likes to work with others, she should do well in a position requiring social skills. Ms. Sun is a good team player, assertive yet still considerate of others. Relationships are important to her, and she sees mutually cooperative efforts as being the most effective. She will put herself forward in some situations but not so far as to compromise team spirit. With appropriate encouragement, Ms. Sun can assume the role of group leader. She can deal with confrontation except in the most extreme cases. She will often be outspoken but, in very competitive situations with new acquaintances, Wanchen Sun is more likely to defer to others. Wanchen Sun generally operates within established policies and procedures. When necessary, however, she can be flexible and innovative. She is less flexible in the area of scheduling as she prefers to have a plan with a fair degree of detail. This is a strong combination, Ms. Sun has the consistency and time management that is the foundation of productivity for most organizations, while at the same time she can adapt to unusual needs or changing circumstances. Wanchen Sun requires continual social stimulation and only rarely does she feel a need to be by herself. Extended periods of solitude will be frustrating for her. Often wanting to be in the spotlight, she will usually lead any discussion but she is not inclined to take the role of leader all the time in every activity. She enjoys meeting new people and exploring new ideas. She often acts impulsively and long-term assignments must include variety or else she will lose interest. Ms. Sun will not tolerate a great deal of monotony and she will thrive on challenging assignments, particularly if these contain an element of risk. Wanchen Sun is generally rational and calm. She can take criticism quite well and, because she strives to be objective, she is usually able to shrug off rejection and continue with her work. Most times she is relaxed and able to cope well with pressure but can become anxious when things do not go well. Although she can work on demanding, high-pressure projects that require dealing with people openly and objectively, Ms. Sun may feel some anxiety in such circumstances.

With balanced focus on both relationships and self, Wanchen Sun is equally productive working with people and working alone. This person will collaborate and take an interest in others’ views yet still compete to reach an individual goal. Forthright and generally self-aware, this person is moderately assured in company and readily accepted by most people. If necessary for team spirit and collaboration, Wanchen will usually adjust personal plans. Wanchen Sun tends to perform best when there is room for compromise as well as some recognition for individual achievement. Aspects of Assertiveness SUBMISSIVE (1) vs. ASSERTIVE (10): This personality scale influences a person's response to the following important work situations or circumstances: LEADERSHIP STYLE - DEMOCRATIC (1) vs. COMMANDING (10): Leadership Style is measured from 1 for those who prefer a nurturing style of leadership to 10 for those who are naturally inclined to a more demanding Leadership Style. Wanchen Sun has a nearly balanced approach to leadership with a moderate inclination to be explicit and directive. In a crisis, she can take command and make certain that the team knows what must be done and when. On the other hand, when a gentle approach is needed, she will function as the guide on the side with a more democratic style. APPROACH TO LISTENING - SYMPATHETIC (1) vs. CONTROLLING (10): The Approach to Listening scale is measured from 1 for a person who is an exceptionally sympathetic listener to 10 for a person who tends to dominate a conversation. Wanchen Sun tends to be enthusiastic about her own ideas and sometimes leaves little opportunity for others to express theirs. Being outspoken and self-confident, she may well talk for others if they hesitate to speak. Similarly, if peers or subordinates are strident, she may only hear the tone of their words and could miss their meaning. She could be encouraged to develop her active listening skills such as paraphrasing, questioning, and neutral repetition. Setting specific goals to promote more dialogue would increase the involvement and contributions of others. APPROACH TO CONFLICT - ACCOMMODATING (1) vs. FORCEFUL (10): This scale distinguishes those who avoid conflict by being accommodating from those who are forceful in their approach to conflict. While Wanchen Sun does not lack soft skills, she prefers a direct, even somewhat forceful, approach to conflict. Because she is sure of herself, she is efficient in debate and confrontation and will only occasionally be worn down by the impact of others. In highly-charged, emotional situations, she should be able to switch to a more moderate, accommodating style of conflict resolution.

Sales Representative Wanchen Sun © Prevue HR Systems Inc. 2016 Page 17 Part 7 - Best Practice Information Assessment Administration: Best Human Resources practice recommends that assessments be administered to candidates in a controlled environment under the supervision of a proctor to ensure that: The person who completes the assessment is in fact the candidate. A candidate’s responses to the assessment questions are not affected by collusion with others or by other actions that would invalidate the assessment. The supervisor is able to address unexpected conditions or problems affecting a candidate and to provide reasonable accommodation for candidates where required. Where a candidate completes the assessments without supervision the accuracy of the results cannot be guaranteed. In such circumstances you may wish to have the candidate retake the Prevue Assessments in a controlled environment at the time they attend your offices for an interview. For more information on the administration of the Prevue Assessment, please see “Administering the Prevue Assessments” in the Prevue How To Guides posted at www.prevueonline.com. Assessment Weighting: The weight given to the Prevue Assessments in any human resource selection or other high stakes decision should not exceed one-third of the total decision making process. The remainder of the process, including the candidate’s work history, interview, background checks, etc., should be considered together with the results of this report. Ensuring Fairness: When properly administered, the use of the Prevue Assessments will help to ensure that job applicants are treated fairly without regard to race, colour, religion, sex or national origin. The Prevue Assessments have been designed and developed to conform to the human rights legislative and best practice requirements prevailing in the various countries where the Prevue Assessments are distributed. This includes the EEOC Guidelines, the Americans With Disabilities Act, and the standards for test development published by the American Psychological Association, the British Psychological Society, and the Association of Test Publishers.
