Interpersonal SkillsWorkplace scenario
You have recently started a new job and your team leader seems to be constantly picking out simple faults in your work. They have never provided any feedback or help unless you have committed a mistake.
You are interested in your job, but the team leader’s behaviour is making things difficult for you.
A PRACTICAL GUIDE
Using Interpersonal Skills in recruitment.
What does the Interpersonal Skills test assess?
Each question describes a situation with another person, such as a team leader who keeps finding fault without giving feedback, and asks how the candidate would respond. The strongest answers consider the other person’s perspective, stay constructive and move the relationship forward. It measures judgement in interactions, not personality.
How can you use the Interpersonal Skills results?
Use the result to decide who to interview, then ask finalists about a real working relationship they had to manage. Combine the test with a communication or teamwork test for team roles, and with a personality profile when you want to discuss working style. A scenario score shows judgement; references show how it played out.
Which situations matter for your role?
- Team rolesUnderstanding colleagues and managing working relationships.
- Customer-facing rolesConsidering another person’s perspective.
- ManagementApproaching difficult interactions constructively.

BEFORE YOU START
Your Interpersonal Skills questions, answered.
Does the Interpersonal Skills test show how someone will behave at work?
It shows how candidates choose to respond to workplace situations. A selected response does not establish how they will behave in real work. Ask for a relevant example at interview.
Which Interpersonal Skills topics should matter for my role?
Start with the work the person will do. This page covers working relationships, understanding others, managing interactions. Decide which of those areas matter for your role before reviewing results, and explore any specialist requirements separately.
Can I combine Interpersonal Skills with other tests?
Yes. Add Interpersonal Skills alongside other relevant tests in one assessment. Choose the combination for your role and review the total time before inviting candidates.
Can I assess real candidates for free?
Yes. Create your account, build an assessment and invite candidates. Your first 5 candidate results are free. No credit card is required.
What happens after my free results?
You pay per candidate result you unlock, rather than per test. There is no subscription or annual commitment. Check the pricing page for current rates.
How should I use the Interpersonal Skills results?
Compare results against the knowledge or ability your role needs. Use them to focus interviews and practical tasks, alongside relevant experience. A test score should not decide who you hire on its own.
