This validation study tests whether a personality assessment can predict performance across 15 cultural and management dimensions, including communication, collaboration, accountability, critical thinking and more.  Drawing on 360° performance evaluations from 103 employees at an energy company, it examines how well personality data connects to the behaviors that matter most in a specific organizational context.

Main findings:

• Personality predicted performance consistently across all 15 dimensions, with an average correlation of .43.
• The strongest predictors outperformed structured interviews, often considered the benchmark for selection quality.
• Using personality data over resumes alone translated into up to 17% more accurate staffing decisions.
• All 15 models passed fairness testing across gender, age, and ethnicity, confirming suitability for use across diverse workforces.
