Instructions for using Mindfindr for different purposes

This section provides instructions on how to utilize the Mindfindr service and interpret the results for different purposes.

Mindfindr is a versatile tool for gaining valuable insights into an individual’s personality, cognitive abilities, and motivations. The key to its effective use isn’t just in running the test, but in properly interpreting the results in the context of your specific goal, whether that’s finding the best candidate, guiding a career path, or supporting personal development.

Recruiting

When recruiting, Mindfindr helps you move beyond a candidate’s resume and interview performance to assess their fit for a specific role and company culture.

Use the Mindfindr results as a guide, not a final verdict. Combine the findings with interview observations, reference checks, and a review of the candidate’s work history.

A low conscientiousness score, for example, might be a red flag for a detail-oriented role. Conversely, a high score in a trait you’re looking for can be a green flag.

Career planning

For career planning, Mindfindr acts as a mirror, helping individuals understand their natural strengths, preferences, and interests. This self-awareness is the foundation for making informed career decisions.

Don’t just present the results; use them to spark a conversation. Ask questions like, “Does this resonate with you?” or “Can you think of a time when this trait has helped you?”

Emphasize the individual’s natural strengths and how they can be leveraged. This builds confidence and makes the career planning process empowering.

Coaching

In a coaching context, Mindfindr provides a structured starting point for a deeper conversation about behavior, habits, and personal development. It helps a coach and coachee quickly identify key areas to work on.

Frame the results as a tool for understanding, not judgment. The goal is self-discovery and growth.

Ask the coachee to provide specific examples from their life that align with the test results. This makes the data more tangible and actionable.
