Take the Assessments and Support

All of the assessments on the Profiling for Success site have been developed by experienced business psychologists and conform to the British Psychological Society´s guidelines for best practice.

The assessments are regularly updated and background information that respondents supply (age, sex, ethnicity) is used to ensure that the assessments are fair to all those that take them.

Accessing Profiling for Success

You will need to enter the access codes to the Profiling for Success assessment system and some personal details, and then select the assessment you want to take. Reports will be sent to you by email.

The access codes for Profiling for Success are now available to current students via MUSE. You can find them by clicking on the Careers tab and the codes are at the bottom of the page. If you are a recent graduate, call into the Careers Service or email us to obtain the access codes.

Important: The system runs on Internet Explorer and needs the Macromedia Flash plugin to be installed. If Flash is not installed, Internet Explorer will prompt you to download this. Reports are sent by email, and so your email system must be able to receive html attachments. You are advised NOT to use a Hotmail account as problems have been encountered with how Hotmail handles attachments.
