The Personality Survey is Imprint's core assessment. It measures how someone naturally shows up: how they prefer to work, how they interact with others, what pace they run at, and how much structure they need. It's the survey most people take first, and the one that produces the four-dimension score you'll see on every profile card.
A respondent takes it by moving through a list of adjectives and marking each one as Like Me or Not Like Me. There's no right answer. The pattern of responses across the whole set is what produces the score.
What it measures
The Personality Survey scores four core dimensions: Self Direction, Sociability, Patience, and Formality. Each is plotted on a 0-10 scale between two opposite ways of working. For the full breakdown of what each dimension means and how to read the scores, see Understanding Dimension Scores.
What it produces
At the end of the survey, the respondent is assigned one of a set of personality profile types. The profile is a shorthand for the shape of their four-dimension scores. A Facilitator, for example, is high on Sociability and moderate on Patience, and tends to show up as team-oriented and even-keeled. See Personality Profiles for the full list.
How long it takes
The Personality Survey has a 30-minute time allowance. Most respondents finish in 10-15 minutes. Taking longer than 30 minutes doesn't invalidate the survey, but it does get flagged. See Validity for how timing and other checks affect the result.
