Available personality frameworks and when to use them
TalentScreen offers six personality assessment frameworks: Big Five, DISC, MBTI, Enneagram, RIASEC, and Emotional Intelligence (EQ). Each measures different traits and serves different hiring needs.
| Framework | Best For | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Big Five | General personality traits, most researched | 10 min |
| DISC | Work style, communication preferences, team dynamics | 8 min |
| MBTI | Cognitive preferences, decision-making style | 12 min |
| Enneagram | Core motivations, growth areas, stress responses | 15 min |
| RIASEC | Career interests, job fit, long-term satisfaction | 10 min |
| EQ | Emotional intelligence, leadership, interpersonal skills | 12 min |
Use Big Five for general hiring and benchmarking. Use DISC for team-building and collaboration roles. Use MBTI for leadership or creative roles. Use Enneagram for coaching and personal development. Use RIASEC for career counseling. Use EQ for customer-facing or management roles.
You can combine multiple frameworks in a single assessment. For example, pair Big Five with EQ for a comprehensive personality profile.
