Psychometric testing with 30-facet depth. No astrology.
Four-letter type labels hide more than they reveal. 5Profiler measures personality in the Big Five tradition at 30-facet resolution, scores it against your role, and writes the result in language your panel can actually use.

Answers
3 per candidate
One sitting. Three answers. Evidence attached.
Six instruments resolve into five fits against your role, and three answers your panel can act on — will they perform, will they fit, will they stay.
Why facets beat types
Two candidates with identical “high conscientiousness” can be opposites at facet level — one exceptional at order and duty, the other at achievement-striving. The seat cares which.
- Big Five tradition, not typologies — constructs the peer-reviewed literature already trusts — no invented four-letter boxes.
- Scored against your role — facet targets tuned per requisition; the same profile can fit one seat and not another.
- Plain-language reports — every facet explained for the panel — jargon-free, with interview probes attached.
- Faking-resistant by design — response-style checks and validity indicators on every profile.
Facets in a real decision
An Engineering Manager candidate scores high on warmth but her judgment dips on peer conflict — the report flags exactly that divergence and hands the panel a probe: “run the vendor-dispute scenario live.” That is what facet depth buys: the interview starts where the assessment left off.
Questions we always get
Is this like MBTI?
No. Type indicators sort people into boxes with poor retest stability; 5Profiler measures continuous traits in the Big Five tradition — the model selection science actually validates — at 30-facet depth.
Can candidates game a personality test?
Self-report can be polished, which is why profiles carry response-style and validity indicators — and why personality is one of six instruments, never the whole decision.
How long does it take?
The profiling sitting is typically under 30 minutes, adaptive throughout.
