Clevry launches updated workplace personality assessment for AI era

Clevry has launched an updated version of its workplace personality assessment, introducing new measures designed to reflect the changing demands of work in the artificial intelligence (AI) era.

Developed by Clevry’s team of business psychologists, CPQ Nova introduces new behavioural constructs including technology confidence, empathy and proactivity, while refining existing measures to improve psychometric accuracy and better reflect the demands of today’s workplace.

The review drew on advances in psychological research, changing workplace behaviours and the World Economic Forum’s Future of Jobs framework, which identifies critical thinking and human skills as increasingly important for employers.

Dr Alan Redman (pictured), chief science officer at Clevry, said: “The workplace has changed dramatically over the last three decades, but many personality assessments haven’t changed with it.

“Technology is now embedded in almost every role, AI is transforming how work gets done and organisations increasingly value qualities such as adaptability, empathy and continuous learning alongside technical expertise.

“CPQ Nova reflects how organisations evaluate talent today, combining established behavioural science with a more modern understanding of workplace behaviour.”

Clevry said every behavioural construct, questionnaire item and scale definition was reviewed as part of the redesign, with assessment language also updated to improve accessibility for candidates and employers.

Redman added: “AI makes personality assessment more important, not less.
