Introduction

This report summarises the candidate's preferred or typical behaviours, measured across twenty universal competencies, that may influence, enable, or shape their job performance. The scores in this report therefore reflect the candidate's potential to perform and are based on their responses to the Occupational Personality Questionnaire (OPQ). The accuracy of this report may be affected by the veracity of the candidate's responses and their capacity for self-awareness.

This report remains valid for 18 to 24 months and should be treated as confidential.

The index numbers refer to the 20 competency dimensions of the Universal Competency Framework (UCF).
