THE PERSONAL ORIENTATION PROFILE™


Explanation:
THE PERSONAL ORIENTATION PROFILE™
(POP™ Version 7.0)
A Validated Selection Profiling System
For Sales and Sales Management Personnel

Attitudes/Opinions
The POP™ 7.0 provides insight into key attitudes related to success in sales.

The Self Directed (SD) scale is the first of these and it provides excellent insight into the
confidence of the candidate.

The Lifestyle Management (LM) scale, which was previously known as the Stress Coping
(SC) scale
, evaluates the candidate’s habits and attitudes about integrating a demanding job with a busy lifestyle.

The Call Reluctance (CR) scale measures the candidate’s feelings about prospecting in his/her
natural market, managing rejection and commitment to sales as a career.

The Uncertainty Coefficient (UC) scale provides an insight into whether or not the test results
are reliable. High scores (above 45) indicate that the candidate may either misunderstand the
profile or may be presenting him/herself in a socially desirable manner.
The character traits measured by the POP tend to have low face validity meaning it is difficult to fake
unless one is an expert in test construction. Some of the Attitudes have higher face validity and a
high UC score can indicate the need to check the SD and CR scores carefully when following up with
the candidate.

Listening Style (LS) is a scale
which provides insights into the person's effectiveness listening in conversations.
