The "Big Five" Personality Model and fluid intelligence
The Five-Factor Personality Model, or "Big Five," is the most widely known and researched model of personality. We apply this model to form and define the Plum Talents.
Discover the Plum 10 Talent Model
Plum assesses candidates based on their “fluid abilities” or ability to solve new problems. High fluid intelligence is often a proven identifier of top performers.
Social intelligence is the ability to interpret and effectively use social cues. Plum takes social intelligence into account when assessing candidates and helps pair the best candidate with the best role.
We present a work situation to those we assess and ask them to rate one of four answers as "most effective" and one as "least effective."
Work Situation Example:
Mila has been asked to facilitate a meeting to identify new marketing opportunities. However, during the meeting none of the team members express opinions about which strategies to choose and how to implement them. This is uncharacteristic of the group, as they are usually very vocal and creative. Mila is concerned about implementing any new marketing strategies without getting useful feedback from the group. If you were Mila, which responses would be the most effective and least effective?
