Applicant Profile Inventory

Interpersonal, safety, and dependability issues are common problems among employees and factors that are often considered in selection.  People that struggle with such issues – they can’t get along with team members, are late to work, ignore safety procedures, etc. – typically cause disruptions and hinder the productivity and performance of others and the organization.  The organizations that thrive and succeed are able to distinguish between these “bad apples” and the individuals who are dependable, team players, and work safely.  AAI has developed the Applicant Profile Inventory, a personality assessment specifically designed to measure and distinguish people on such characteristics.  More info.
