Organizational Performance Pro.file (OPP)

The OPP provides insights into individual’s traits and behaviors essential for effective recruiting and management. It is a validated instrument designed to measure the seven most important career- and work-related characteristics in adults.

The key traits and behaviors measured in the OPP:

  • Assertiveness: An individual's need to exercise control in his/her environment. A high need to control would be very assertive; a low need to control would be accommodating.
  • Sociability: An individual's need to build relationships and communicate with others. A high sociability need would cause a person to be more outgoing; a lower need to socialize would cause a person to be more reserved.
  • Pace: Identifies an individual's patience or impatience. A higher level of proactiveness would cause an individual to be more multi-tasked; a lower level would cause an individual to be more patient and methodical.
  • Detail: The degree to which an individual is motivated by structure in his/her environment. A higher detail orientation causes an individual to be more careful and thorough; a lower level causes an individual to be more flexible and casual with detail.
  • Behavioral Adaptability: The degree to which an individual can adapt or modify his/her behaviors for different people and different situations.
  • Emotiveness: The ability of an individual to demonstrate a sensitive, empathetic approach to others, or a more logical, rational, and controlled approach to others.
  • Creativity: An individual's ability to bring "original thinking" to a discussion, problem solving, or a selling situation. Individuals can have a more conservative, innovative, or creative orientation.
