About the Test

At Testlify, we’ve developed a personality assessment tool that we call SMART. We’ve based it on the widely recognised Big Five Factor Theory, which is often used in entry-level pre-hire assessments. Our team conducted a deep dive into the research to make sure we covered all sub-factors of each of the 5 dimensions, making our assessment the most comprehensive and up-to-date tool available. And we don’t stop there—to ensure our assessment is accurate and relevant, we carefully crafted behaviour indicators and measurements using the latest scientific knowledge. With Testlify’s SMART assessment, you can be confident that you’re getting a thorough and accurate evaluation of an individual’s personality traits.

The test is created by a subject-matter expert

Testlify’s skill tests are designed by experienced SMEs (subject matter experts). We evaluate these experts based on specific metrics such as expertise, capability, and their market reputation. Prior to being published, each skill test is peer-reviewed by other experts and then calibrated based on insights derived from a significant number of test-takers who are well-versed in that skill area. Our inherent feedback systems and built-in algorithms enable our SMEs to refine our tests continually.
