Some traditional tests often perpetuate discrimination by favoring candidates with similar temperaments to those of their future supervisors. The Alexander the Great Personality Test promotes fairness by focusing on individuals' qualities and skills, rather than their temperaments.

02.

Combatting Ineffective Practices:

Organizations, sometimes unintentionally, limit diversity by hiring individuals with similar temperaments as supervisors. This lack of diversity can weaken organizational dynamics. By embracing the Alexander the Great Personality test, organizations can foster a more diverse and inclusive workplace culture.

Drawing from Ancient Wisdom:

Our test is rooted in a timeless understanding of personality, drawing inspiration from the Alexander the Great's pursuit of excellence. Alexander, a student of Aristotle, who, in turn was a student of Plato, embodies the principle of good habits as outlines in Plato's works on Cardinal Virtues. As a result, he built the greatest empire of his time. See "Origin" in the menu above.

Overall the Alexander the Great Personality Test offers a holistic approach to assessing individuals' readiness for the workforce, emphasizing the cultivation of good habits and essential skills for success.

Alexander the Great Personality Test was unlike any other test I've taken before. I work in Recruiting, and can share that it provided great insights into my personality and habits. I would definitely recommend this test to others - it draws great insights into how candidates think and whether or not they would be a good fit for the role and organization.

As the founder of The Catholic CEO and consultant for many years on leadership and business development, I've used personality assessments of all kinds to assist my clients. The only one that actually deals with virtue and character is AlexTest, developed by Dr. Jean-Francois Orsini. Others are full of commentary about skills, etc. But AlexTest deals with character and the qualities of the virtuous leader. These are more important to the success of a business or to leadership in general than mere skills. I highly recommend AlexTest.                                                                                                                                                                   Henry Kutarna, Founder The Catholic CEO

I truly believe that the cardinal virtues are the essential component of human flourishing . Dr. Jean-Francois Orsini has developed a comprehensive assessment based on this framework that is philosophically robust and should be very useful to coaches and recruiters.
