|
 |
How
long does it take to fill in the profile on-line? |
| |
The
on-line questionnaire consists of 24 questions. Within
each question you are asked to choose from four words,
the word that best describes you and the word that least
describes you. Some choices are fairly simple and obvious,
and some may make you think and ponder for a little
longer. There are no right or wrong answers. The amazing
thing about the Thomas Profile is that you can answer
many of the questions very differently and end up with
the same analysis of you. The other wonderful thing
about this particular profile is that it takes less
than 10 minutes to complete and submit, much less than
most of its competitors and the accuracy and usefulness
of the Thomas Profile is its REAL strength.
|
|
Can
I print and read the questionnaire before filling it in? |
| |
You
will only be presented with one question at time on
the screen. These questions are easy to complete and
questions that you will enjoy answering about yourself
so there is no requirement to look at and print them
off in advance.
You
can, however, move back to earlier questions and amend
your answers prior to the point of submitting your questionnaire.
We however do not recommend this, as deliberating over
the answers has been proven to make the analysis no
less or more accurate than your first instinctive response.
|
|
Can
I fill in the questionnaire more than once? |
| |
You
can order both reports at the same time or one now and
one at a later date but you will only ever be asked to
complete the questionnaire once.
Many
clients are concerned that they may answer some questions
differently on different occasions. The Thomas Profile
system is designed in such a way to take this into account.
Hence you can be confident that the profile will be
an accurate reflection of you.
The
reason we only ask you to complete the questionnaire
once is that you will subconsciously remember what you
answered previously and this will reduce the overall
effectiveness of the analysis.
Thomas
International does recommend, however, that you review
your profile from time to time but leave at least a
six month gap between completing each questionnaire.
PerfectProfile.net can arrange this if you wish.
|
|
In
what format do I receive the report? |

or alternatively you can print them. The reports are always
available for you to read by simply logging in with your
personal ID and password.
