Key Features
Examine the particular features of our software that will aid in helping you to prepare for Personality Testing as part of a pilot assessment:
Realistic Provider-Style Assessments
Practise real personality test formats before your assessment day.
Engage with our Personality Testing Simulator featuring 8 Assessments modelled on the instruments used by leading psychometric providers in aviation selection, including COMPASS Checklist Personality Profile, Aon Shapes, SHL OPQ32, ADEPT-15, Symbiotics ADAPT APQ, Frequency Scale, OEJTS and IPIP Big Five style tests.

Each assessment replicates the question format, item count and pacing of the real instrument, so you know exactly what to expect when you sit the actual test.
Multiple Question Formats

Experience Every Format You May Encounter
Practise across the full range of question formats used in psychometric personality testing, including Likert Scales (rate your agreement with statements), Forced Choice pairs and triads (choose which statement is most or least like you), Point Allocation (distribute points across statements) and Slider Pairs (position a slider between two statements).

Understand How Formats Affect Your Results
Different question formats produce different types of scores. Likert scales generate normative profiles comparing you to a population, while forced choice and point allocation formats produce ipsative profiles showing your relative strengths. Understanding these distinctions through practice helps you respond naturally and consistently on assessment day.
Progress and Consistency Tracking

Monitor Your Development Across Attempts
Track your completion times, attempt history and Consistency Scores across all 8 assessments. Review your performance over multiple attempts to monitor how your familiarity and confidence develop with each question format, and identify areas where further practice may be beneficial.

Integrated Overview Dashboard
Access all personality tests, learning materials and progress data from a single Overview Page. Filter tests by format or provider, review your attempt history at a glance, and pick up where you left off, ensuring an organised and efficient approach to your preparation.
Tailored E-Learning Content

Structured Learning for Your Experience Level
Progress through tailored e-learning modules designed specifically for your experience level, with dedicated Fundamentals content for both aspiring pilots new to aviation and experienced pilots seeking command upgrades or airline transitions. Each module provides a structured learning path across eight sections, grounded in published personality psychology and assessment research.

Knowledge Checks with Gated Progression
Reinforce your understanding with Knowledge Checks placed after each section, featuring five questions that test comprehension and ensure you can apply the concepts effectively. Subsequent sections remain locked until each Knowledge Check is passed, ensuring a thorough understanding of the material before advancing.
Fundamentals & Question Types

Build Foundational Understanding
Begin with Fundamentals to understand what personality tests are, the science behind them, why aviation uses them, the specific providers you may encounter including COMPASS, Aon, SHL and DLR, what assessors look for in your profile, how results are scored and interpreted, and common myths that undermine candidates, providing a solid foundation for authentic and confident responding.

Master Every Question Format
Progress to the Question Types module covering every format you may encounter, including Likert scales, forced choice, paired comparison, ranking, frequency scales and slider formats. Understand how each format works, what it measures, how it is scored and which providers use it, ensuring that no question format catches you off guard on assessment day.
