The Problem with Existing Tools

Most workplace assessments measure personality in isolation. That misses the most important part.

DISC, Myers-Briggs, and Insights put people in types. They tell you how someone prefers to communicate. They do not tell you how their brain actually processes information, manages time, initiates tasks, or regulates emotion under pressure.

01

No cognitive profiling

Someone who appears conscientious may be spending twice the energy to achieve what comes easily to others. Type-based tools cannot detect this hidden cost.

02

Compensation is invisible

High performers often mask significant cognitive difficulties. Standard tools see the output, not the cost. Burnout risk goes undetected until it becomes a retention problem.

03

Low test-retest reliability

Research shows up to 50% of people receive a different MBTI type on retesting. Proprietary typologies lack the psychometric rigour of established frameworks.

Organisation Dashboard

Everything your managers need, in one place.

The Aperio dashboard gives HR leads and managers a complete picture of their people - with the ability to distribute assessments, view profiles, and understand team dynamics.

👥

People profiles

Each team member's full cognitive and personality profile, with auto-generated working style summary and recommended adjustments.

🔑

Access code management

Generate and distribute assessment codes directly to individuals. Track which have been sent, used, and completed.

Recommended adjustments

Per-person, evidence-based performance recommendations for managers. Tracked with a checkbox system so nothing slips through.

🔗

Team compatibility

Select any combination of people to analyse how their profiles interact. Pairwise comparisons, role gaps, and shared vulnerabilities.

🛡️

Role-based access

Organisation admins see all. Managers see their team. Resourcers see assigned divisions. Sensitive screening results are consent-controlled.

📊

Screener integration

ADHD and autism screener results sit alongside workplace profiles. Patterns flagged in the profile prompt screener recommendations automatically.

Individual Results

A report that actually explains the person - not just their type.

Each completed assessment produces a detailed results page and a downloadable PDF report. Individuals receive their own copy. Organisations see what the individual consents to share.

9 executive function domains

Each domain scored for impact (how much it affects daily work), compensation (hidden effort invested to manage it), and strength (cognitive advantages associated with it).

Big Five personality profile

Scored and contextualised to workplace behaviour. Cross-referenced with executive function to surface interactions that create specific risks or advantages.

Working style recommendations

Specific, actionable suggestions for the individual's manager. Framed around conditions likely to produce the person's best work, not generic advice.

Pattern screening (optional)

Identifies whether response patterns are consistent with ADHD, autistic traits, or dyslexia. Framed as patterns worth exploring, not diagnoses.

PDF report by email

A full formatted report is generated and emailed immediately on completion. Individuals keep their own copy regardless of what is shared with their organisation.

Consent-controlled sharing

Individuals choose what to share with their organisation. Sensitive screening results are never shared without explicit consent.

Standalone Screeners

Evidence-based screening, built for the workplace.

Each Aperio assessment can be purchased individually or deployed across an organisation. The Workplace Profile gives the fullest picture; the ADHD, Autism, and Bias screeners are focused tools for specific questions. Every assessment produces its own detailed report.
