Every person is motivated in a different way, so it’s important to realize that people are engaged in different ways as well. There are three questions you must ask when evaluating employees whose performance is beneath their potential:

  1. Can they do the job?
  2. How will the person do the job?
  3. Will the person want to do the job?

Can they do the job?

The ProfileXT® measures Learning Index, which indicates a person's learning, reasoning, and problem solving approach. By understanding the person's learning index, you can better understand whether or not they are able to do the job. If they are not able to do the job, they are less likely to be engaged and motivated.

How will the person do the job?

The ProfileXT® measures behavioral traits: energy level, assertiveness, sociability, manageability, attitude, decisiveness, accommodating, independence, and objective judgment. If you can understand how a person will do the job, you can determine whether or not the job description will complement the person's personality.

Will the person want to do the job?

The ProfileXT® also measures occupational interests. The six occupational categories are enterprising, financial/admin, people service, technical, mechanical, and creative. A person may be capable of doing a job and may do it well, but that does not mean they want to do the job. If a person does not enjoy doing a particular job, he will immediately become disengaged and unmotivated.
