An Introduction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

First published in 1996, the CPQ Legacy has been refined and polished into the CPQ Nova through a process of rigorous test development, user feedback, and completions of millions of individual personality assessments. The CPQ Nova has been upgraded to provide an even better collection of flexible traits that represent all aspects of the modern workplace. Each scale has been refreshed and reviewed to ensure that they\u2019re up to date with the latest contemporary understanding and experience of workplace personality. As such, we\u2019ve ensured that our questionnaires are performing at the highest standard, with validity and reliability metrics better than ever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Personality in the Modern Workplace<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Our old CPQ Legacy Library (as great as it is) was not fully representing all aspects of workplace personality in the modern day and age. Some scales were slightly limited in the traits that they were measuring, which meant that some lovely human behaviours were not being captured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The World Economic Forum released a report<\/a> in 2025, highlighting some of the most sought after and essential skills at work:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAnalytical thinking remains the most sought-after core skill among employers, with seven out of 10 companies considering it as essential in 2025. This is followed by resilience, flexibility and agility, along with leadership and social influence. \u200b

AI and big data top the list of fastest-growing skills, followed closely by networks and cybersecurity as well as technology literacy. Complementing these technology-related skills, creative thinking, resilience, flexibility and agility, along with curiosity and lifelong learning, are also expected to continue to rise in importance over the 2025-2030 period.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
