It is a matter of great interest for organizations to identify the attributes that make their managers and executives different and successful. Of equal importance for them is to know who among their managers has the most potential to grow and advance their careers.
This presentation focuses on an evaluation study that employed psychometric testing to explore the characteristics critical for a leader’s success. Over 1500 international managers were surveyed as part of this study. The study was aimed at providing a better understanding of the following 2 Leadership profiles:
1. Personality Profile of a Leader
2. Personality Profile of a Consistently Successful Leader
The study employed a series of 5 psychometric tests to assess the personality and reasoning process of senior managers and managers, including:
• Revised NEO Personality Inventory (NEO PI-R)
• Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)
• GMA(A)
• Watson Glaser Critical Thinking Appraisal (W-GCTA)
• Consequences
The slide deck also includes some slide templates for you to use in your own business presentations.
The study also evaluated participants across eight areas of business and leadership competence, utilizing standardized repertory grid interviews. These areas include strategic direction, commercial understanding, management, inter-cultural awareness, and people influence. The comprehensive analysis provides a detailed look into how these competencies correlate with successful leadership traits.
The use of multiple psychometric tests ensures the reliability of the assessment results. The NEO PI-R test evaluates personality across 30 attributes, while the MBTI test assesses personality across four scales and eight attributes. This rigorous approach offers a robust framework for identifying key personality traits that distinguish successful leaders from their peers.

This PPT slide presents an overview of the Revised NEO Personality Inventory (NEO PI-R), which evaluates personality traits across 5 primary categories, further dissected into 30 specific attributes known as facets. The central focus lies on how these traits can be assessed to provide insights into leadership potential and effectiveness.
At the core, the 5 personality trait categories are Neuroticism, Extraversion, Openness to Experience, Agreeableness, and Conscientiousness. Each category is linked to various facets that delve deeper into individual characteristics. For instance, Neuroticism encompasses aspects like anxiety and depression, while Extraversion includes traits such as warmth and assertiveness.
Conscientiousness is highlighted with facets like achievement striving and self-discipline, indicating its importance in leadership roles. Agreeableness features traits such as compliance and altruism, which are essential for team dynamics and collaboration. Openness to Experience is associated with creativity and curiosity, suggesting that leaders who score high in this area may be more innovative and adaptable.
The slide effectively communicates the structured approach of the NEO PI-R in assessing personality, emphasizing its relevance in identifying key traits that contribute to successful leadership. The extended version of the NEO PI-R, mentioned at the bottom, suggests a comprehensive evaluation, potentially offering a more nuanced understanding of an individual's personality profile. This tool could be invaluable for organizations looking to enhance their leadership selection and development processes.
