A Picture is Worth

"Traditional tests seem increasingly out of touch… They don’t tap into what we humans are best at: visual processing."

Traitify's patented assessments collect personality data using human interaction with images. We validate against the Big Five and Holland Interest models and candidates can complete our tests 30x faster than ever before.
Built for the modern attention span:
90 second test = 95% completion rate. Test-takers not only answer quickly, but are more likely to be honest through our rapid series of images and "me" / "not me" choice. Say goodbye to test fatigue.
Designed for everyone:
Images make us mobile friendly for those who don’t have access to large screen devices, more accessible to imperfect readers, and easier to translate. We go beyond EEOC compliance and tackle socio-economic bias head-on.
Backed by rigorous science:
We've run dozens of multi-month studies with 1000s of participants so far. And we’ll do so continuously to ensure reliability and validity that stands up to the scrutiny of our scientific peers. Our science is well-documented. See our manuals.
Traitify specifically set out to investigate personality in the workplace and how it can be used to identify and develop talent. There is no better model for this than the Big Five. For employee interests, we build off the exceptionally well-studied Holland Inventories.
Our assessments have been repeatedly validated against well-established Big Five and career interest inventories (IPIP-NEO, BFI, and O*Net Interest Profiler Short Form). For example, our construct validity for Big Five ranges from 0.52 to 0.75, comparable to other questionnaires. Predictive Validity is established on a proprietary basis with individual clients.
Not only are our assessments accurate, they are internally consistent. We have conducted extensive studies to ensure stability over time and have excellent test-retest reliability. For example, our Big Five scores between .66 and .77.
Details about our assessments, studies, and results can be found in our manuals.
