What if I feel the test’s results do not reflect my personality?
The SPPT has been extensively tested with numerous individuals having many different kinds of personalities. Its results have been confirmed often and are, as a general rule, quite reliable.
Of course, the validity of the SPPT relies upon the customer’s willingness to answer all the questions truthfully. Sometimes, our illusions about ourselves prevent us from seeing ourselves clearly (as others see us), which in turn may prevent us from being truthful when responding to questions put to us about ourselves. If you find a large discrepancy between your SPPT results and your own image of yourself, that is most likely the main reason.
If that is case, your best course of action would be to try to come to a more honest assessment of yourself, perhaps by asking for help from relatives, friends, or other persons you trust to level with you about yourself.
Why can’t I take the SSPT over again if I am not satisfied with the results?
The way SPPT scores are calculated includes a statistical analysis of the customer’s answers in relation to the answers of various control groups. Allowing the test to be taken multiple times by a customer would skew these statistical results.
Is it likely my personality will change over time?
By definition, one’s “personality” is the collection of an individual’s characteristics or behavioral propensities that are relatively stable over time. However, it is certainly possible to break bad habits and to acquire new ones. All that is required is insight, will-power, and perseverance.
If you really want to change one or more of your fundamental personality traits in a given direction, though it won’t happen overnight, with sufficient application and given enough time, it can happen.
Might I have a different personality at home than I have at work?
Yes. Many of our deep-seated personality traits are in fact quite context-sensitive. This means that we may indeed behave quite differently with different people in different social contexts.

To purchase a test for a job applicant or employee, we recommend choosing the
‘For Employers’ test. This option provides access to additional reports tailored for hiring or management purposes, offering deeper insights than the ‘For Individuals’ test.
When you purchase the
‘For Employers’ test, you’ll receive a unique test key that you can share with the applicant or employee. Once they complete the test, their results will be accessible directly from your dashboard, giving you a seamless way to review and utilize their reports.
This ensures you have all the tools you need to make informed decisions and manage test results efficiently.
How does the employee or applicant activate the test key and access the test once I give them the test key?
After you provide the test key, the employee or applicant needs to follow these steps to access the test:
- Go to successportraits.com/my-account.
- Create an account if they don’t already have one.
- Log in to their account on successportraits.com/my-account.
- Click the Activate Shared Test Key button.
- Fill out the form by entering the shared test key, along with their first and last name, and then press Activate.
Once activated, they will be taken straight to the test. This straightforward process ensures they can quickly access and start the test you’ve provided.
How will I know once a job applicant or employee has completed the test?
You can track the applicant’s or employee’s progress directly from your dashboard. The dashboard will show whether the test is in progress or completed.
Once the test is finished, a button will appear in the dashboard, giving you access to the applicant’s or employee’s test results. This ensures you can easily monitor their status and view the results as soon as they are available.
Is the SSPT a psychiatric, psychological, or medical assessment?
The SPPT is not a psychiatric, psychological, or medical assessment. If such an assessment is desired, one should seek out a licensed professional in that field.
