For employers adding a Personality assessment to a position.
Personality is an optional IPIP/Big Five assessment. Turn it on in Step 2 of interview creation; choose your preferred direction for each of the five traits and pick a length in Step 3. To add it to a position: open Positions → the position you want to edit → Step 2: Build interview → toggle on Assessments and check Personality → Next: Configure interview.
How to enable Personality on a position
To enable Personality for a position, open the position in the Create Interview wizard and check the Personality box on the Build step.
In the sidebar, open Positions and click + Create position, or open an existing position you want to edit.
On Step 2: Build interview, toggle on the Assessments card.
Check the Personality box.
Click Next: Configure interview.
How to set your trait preferences
Configuring Personality means picking the length of the assessment and, for each of the five Big Five traits, the direction that fits what you're looking for.
On Step 3: Configure interview, open the Personality section.
Choose the Assessment length. Standard (50 questions, about 5 minutes) or Express (20 questions, about 2 minutes). Standard is the default.
For each trait. Conscientiousness, Agreeableness, Emotional Stability, Extraversion, Openness. Pick one of four options: the first direction, the second direction, Balanced, or Not important.
Watch the progress counter at the top of the section. It reads "n of 5 set" and turns green when every trait has a selection.
There are no default selections. Every trait starts unset so you make an active choice for each one. Balanced and Not important carry the same weight as a direction pick: use Balanced when either end of the trait could work for the role, and Not important when the trait doesn't matter for the role. You can't save the section with every trait set to Not important. At least one trait has to carry a preference.
What candidates experience
Candidates see a short intro, then work through a Likert questionnaire. One statement at a time, rated from Strongly disagree to Strongly agree. Keyboard navigation is supported so they can move through quickly.
Candidates don't see your trait preferences or which direction you picked. Their answers go through the IPIP scoring engine to produce a per-trait profile that's compared to your preferences.
Where to see results
Results live in two places on the candidate profile: a compact Personality card on the Overview tab (and Magic Review), and a full trait-by-trait breakdown on the Assessments tab.
The Assessments-tab breakdown has an expandable row per trait with a zone bar showing where the candidate landed relative to your preference, and a callout for each non-aligned trait with a suggested interview prompt. The summary line uses risk framing (for example, "No gaps across 5 prioritized traits") that matches the Overview-tab card. Personality is an independent signal and is never combined with the video match score. Use it to inform your conversations, not replace them.
