Personality Assessment Test
Nanny personality or risk assessment are psychological tests that assist parents evaluate potential nanny candidates. The tests provide a better insight into the candidates personality and traits, as well as an assessment of possible risk factors.
Our Agency Psychologist meet in person when possible or via Zoom with each candidate to perform 7 different Psychodiagnostics Test, in which they evaluate the personality along with their family and interpersonal relationships. Their cognitive, emotional and affective capacity are evaluated, as well as psychologically, to determine if there are any
risk factors.
We consider these aspects important for our Agency, unlike other agencies that carry out online questionnaires which cannot evaluate and most often do not take into consideration, an aspect as important as body language that allows to observe behaviors such as nervousness, tension, concealment, among other factors.
