Chief Executive Officer (CEO)
RA’s CEO Test provides predictive information about a candidate’s strategic, leadership and visionary work style.
Pre-Employment Test
Purpose: The Chief Executive Officer/CEO Test is a short but thorough personality-only assessment developed exclusively for the pre-employment screening of an organization’s future director.
About This Test: This test will take most candidates approximately 15-20 minutes. It consists of 1 part:
- An untimed personality assessment
What the Report Gives You: A graphical display of personality trait scores, feedback regarding strengths and developmental concerns, and suggested interview questions.
Testing Process:
- Immediate score report upon completion.
- Proctoring desirable but not required.
- The use of mobile phones is discouraged.
Options: Testing for aptitude can provide useful and performance-predictive information about your candidate. We highly recommend the General Cognitive Aptitude Test to give you a quick assessment of mental capacity.
Target Group: We recommend using this test for senior level executives in the ??C suite ?? of the organizational structure (e.g, CEO but also COO, CFO), as well as company presidents, executive directors, managing directors and general managers.
