Bear in mind that whilst this information may be edifying for the individual concerned, it is not necessarily the most useful form of feedback for the organisation. Many psychometric or personality tests provide results which focus on an individual’s personality traits. Whilst personality may not be immediately apparent to others, behaviour is – it’s the outward manifestation of all those factors, working together and acting on other people.

Others include: skills and abilities values and motivations experiences and external influences. There are a number of different factors which influence our behaviour – and personality is one of them.

Belbin measures behaviour and does not have psychometric properties. Many tests claim to cover both behaviour and personality, but actually, these are distinct, so it’s important to find out exactly what your chosen test will be measuring. At Belbin, we distinguish between behaviour and personality.
