Using our AI-derived personality capability, you can extract information about key personality traits from video interview responses, enabling you to obtain useful information without placing additonal requirements on your candidates or employees.
A Responsible use of AI
Using artificial intelligence responsibly is absolutely critical for systems that affect individual's careers. We are committed to implementing AI in an open fashion with full disclosure to our clients and candidates, and only when there is a logical basis for its application. In this case, the application is based on using semantic language analysis to make logical connections between candidate statements and known indicators of various personality features. Behind every successful machine learning application there is a large body of information known as a 'Training Set.' In this case, the training set is based large, open-source, data sets of proven personality questions and responses. Additionally, results are only provided for a trait if the system can correlate the candidate's responses to that trait with a high enough confidence level. In this way, specious correlations are eliminated from the results.

Getting Started
How do I add questions that measure personality?
You have several options. If you have any questions or concerns don't hesitate to let us help you.
Option 1: You can write your own questions if you want. To help, please see the table of suggested interview questions below for each of the traits. Simply create and add questions like you would normally, but be sure to select the traits that the question is intended to measure (on the question edit screen).
Option 2 (Recommended): The system will add the questions for you. Simply go to the test you want to add them to and scroll to the bottom of the page, then click the link to Import AI-Personality Questions. The system will automatically create appropriate questions in the same folder as the test and add them to your test.
Once the questions are added, you can modify them and make them yours.
In either case: Let us help you! We are happy to help you get this set up the way you want. Simply reach out to use anytime by clicking here and we will get in touch right away. We will have you up and running in no time.
What does Performance or Cultural Fit mean?
We can measure about 40 different traits. To simplify things, we've grouped them into 'Performance' (7 traits), and 'Cultural Fit' (34 traits). You can mix an match all you like, simply choose 'Both' in the test configuration.
How it really works
Our AI-driven personality tool is based on a process called 'Semantic Analysis.' That is, evaluating text based on it's overall meaning. In the world of psychology a lot of questions have been written to evaluate different personality factors. Many of them today are open source and there are large datasets available to train a computer on what semantic 'meaning' is associated with what traits. By comparing what a candidate actually says with this dataset of statements and proven associations to different traits, we can estimate the degree of a trait in an individual.
