Profiling People

Personal Profile Analysis (PPA)

PPA is used to capture and ascertain a person’s behavior at work place. The person is asked to fill the PPA form. Thinking of himself at work place he chooses words that describe him most and least. The form is then analyzed by Thomas Key software and Provides different reports providing information about a person’s Behavioral make-up and working style, behavioral modifications at work place, expected behavior under pressure conditions, motivators, fears, value to the organization, strengths & limitations, extent of fit with the job etc. 

The Personal Profile Analysis is a work place related behavioral inventory. 

It gives an idea of the preferred style of a person, that is to say the unique behavioral characteristics that define a person. This indicates the basic behavioral orientation of a person and also gives insights into what motivates that person and the presence of stress/frustrations traced to their possible causes.

The reports describe a person on three different aspects:

Work Mask: 

Describes an individual’s behavior at work place and modifications he is making as compared to his self-image.

Pressure Profile:

 Describes how an individual is expected to behave under pressure Situations.

Self Image: 

Describes an individual’s inherent or core behavior.
