How TALY combines Five Factor and Emotional Intelligence in one test… and why it matters!
Diverse business people coming together as a team, planning for the future and collaborating to complete a puzzle closeup. Corporate professionals in unity holding up and supporting pieces of a whole.
At TALY, we’re all about making it super easy to get the key insight into people that leaders and recruiters need to make each recruitment decision better than the last.
A key part to this is our unique profiling tool – the first to combine the Five Factor personality profiling with Emotional Intelligence metrics and other important traits relevant to business today – in one test.
It’s simple – the TALY profile has everything you need to know in it. Everyone does the same survey – because personality is foundational. It’s how the data is interpreted and applied to different situations and roles that matters. This is where the TALY platform and the intelligence baked into this come to life to make the interpretation super easy for you.
The TALY tool was built by leading psychometricians, data scientists and business leaders to ensure the tool is robust, stable, scientifically valid and relevant to Australian business today.
(If you’re a data nerd like us, we’re happy to get into the science any time – just reach out!)
HERE’S HOW IT COMES TOGETHER…
FIVE FACTOR PERSONALITY PROFILE
Based on the established academic convention that there are essentially five core traits that build our personality. The combination of these dimensions provides rich insight people, their approach to work, teams and more
AGREEABLENESS — the tendency to be friendly, compassionate and cooperative
OPENNESS — the tendency to enjoy variety, novelty, challenge and intellectual stimulation
CONSCIENTIOUSNESS — the tendency to show self-discipline and self-control
EXTROVERSION — the tendency to be outgoing, energetic and sociable
EMOTIONALITY— the tendency to experience unpleasant emotions
EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE
The better we are at perceiving and understanding our own emotions, and connecting with the emotions of those around us, the better we’ll be able to build strong inter-personal relationships.
PERCEIVING YOUR EMOTIONS – The ability to perceive emotions in oneself and express them accurately to others. Also the ability to perceive emotions in other people.
HARNESSING EMOTIONS – The ability to generate, use, and feel emotion as necessary to communicate feelings or employ them in other cognitive processes
UNDERSTANDING OTHERS – The ability to understand the meanings behind emotional information and the way emotions combine and change in the context of relationships.
MANAGING EMOTIONS – The ability to be open to feelings, and to modulate them in oneself and others so as to promote personal understanding and growth.
CUSTOM METRICS
A range of bespoke custom metrics are also included, built from science to address business needs today. These include risk taking, humility, honesty, empathy.
WHY DOES THIS MATTER?
Understanding people is not about numbers or letters or pigeon-holing into a neat little archetype.
People are more complex and varied than that.
The key to using personality profiling appropriately (and therefore making better people decisions) is to:
Start with academically rigourous and proven approaches to personality like the Five Factor approach and Emotional Intelligence
Look at the each of the individual traits underlying a person’s personality
Look at the combination of traits to build a useful picture of people that paints a clear picture of who they are and the implications of this.
The TALY approach to personality profiling brings together a unique mix of Five Factor and Emotional Intelligence profiling to help organisations, hiring managers and teams to make better decisions about recruitment and teams.
