— Personality diagnostics

Insights beyond
the resume.

At Kempkens × Kohler, we go far beyond conventional candidate evaluations. Our personality diagnostics offering sets a new standard in executive assessment — supporting your organisation not only in executive search and outplacement, but also as a standalone service to deepen leadership insights and team dynamics.

We combine several scientifically validated and standardised personality assessments to deliver a multi-dimensional and reliable picture of each individual.

01 — Core pillar
Modular, tailored diagnostics

Beyond standard assessments, we integrate a third diagnostic pillar, customised to our partner's specific organisational needs — ensuring every assessment is relevant, contextual, and actionable.

02 — Cultural fit & integrity
Integrity focus & dark triad detection

With corporate culture and leadership integrity becoming ever more critical, we include in many assessments:

  • The Dark Triad personality test (Paulhus/Williams) to uncover tendencies toward narcissism, Machiavellianism, and sadism
  • Additional modules that explore personality accentuations and potential risk factors for toxic leadership

Whether you're selecting key leaders, planning succession, or building stronger teams — our diagnostic suite delivers clarity, confidence, and cultural alignment.
