Personality measurement

HEXACO-test

The HEXACO is a personality measurement procedure that measures the behavioural characteristics of an individual’s personality along six main axes, based on the latest findings in personality psychology.

Based on the six main axes, a further 4-4 subscales help to describe personality as precisely as possible. The standard for the 100-question Hungarian version of the test, based on a survey of several hundred people, and the reliability scale confirming the validity of the questionnaire, are the exclusive property of the manager of KÁPLÁR Consulting and Development Ltd. It is therefore only available through us.

The 6 dimensions of personality

Honesty platform

People with low scores in this category are more likely to break the rules and manipulate others. Their sense of entitlement is high and they are motivated by personal gain.

Emotion

High scorers in this category are more likely to be afraid of physical danger, anxiety about stressful situations and the need for emotional support from others.

Turning outwards

As the name suggests, those scoring high in the extrovert category feel positive, confident in social situations and more upbeat and optimistic than their lower-scoring counterparts.

Eligibility

Acceptable people are quick to forgive and have a high capacity for compromise.

Conscientiousness

People who score highly in this category are disciplined, organised, careful and strive for perfection.

Openness to experience

People who are open to experience, curious and creative. They enjoy art, science, technology and are interested in people and ideas that are outside the norm.

Szondi-test

Deep dynamic mapping

In the vast majority of cases, organisational surveys are designed to examine the functioning, effectiveness and behaviour of individuals in the organisation. These behaviours, however, cannot be derived entirely from the surface personality structure.

The Szondi test is a psychological testing instrument published in the 20th century, in 1947. It is named after its creator, the Hungarian-born Swiss psychiatrist Lipót Szondi. When taking the test, the subject classifies the facial images of people undergoing psychiatric treatment according to whether they are sympathetic or antipathetic.

Dr. Mátyás Káplár, who wrote his doctoral dissertation on the modern applications of the Szondi theory, developed the method of Fate Analytic Counselling, which makes a significant contribution to the steps of individual and organisational development by using the Szondi-test and related techniques.

MMPI-test

Organogram

Social networks

For each group working together, relationships are organised at several levels. Only one layer of this is the system defined by the organogram and the formal organisational structure.

There is also an informal pattern of human networking, based on emotions and sympathies, which, although it has a significant impact on the life of the organisation, on efficiency and cooperation, remains in most cases below the surface.

Through the mapping of social networks, organisational leaders can gain insight into a dynamic system that lies at the deepest levels of organisational functioning and can help them to optimise their work in a significant way.
