Our instruments are public. Take the time to examine them.
No homemade test, no black box. Noike describes a person with three instruments from public research - questions, methods and norms open to review. A portrait is never a verdict: it's a foundation for a better conversation and a better decision.
Three public standards, one complete portrait.
IPIP-NEO-120
The reference model in personality psychology (the Big Five), in the public domain - the Goldberg tradition. 120 items, five domains, thirty facets.
O*NET Work Importance Profiler
The measure of motivations developed by public research on work (the U.S. Department of Labor). What truly matters to a person in a role.
Open-science tasks
Mental rotation (Ganis & Kievit stimuli, CC BY 4.0), figural matrices (IMak generator), series and verbal reasoning (original Noike items). Public, documented and auditable methods.
What a questionnaire captures - and what it doesn't.
A self-report questionnaire describes tendencies, not a destiny. Every portrait states what it measures and what it leaves aside. We prefer a tool whose limits are precisely known to a tool that promises more than it can deliver.
- Describe, don't predict.Noike tells you who the person is, not whether they'll succeed at your company. The decision stays yours.
- Give back, don't judge.The portrait is returned to the person assessed, in language they can read too.
- Prepare, don't replace.The portrait becomes an interview guide. It arms the conversation; it doesn't replace it.
