ATSA: Personality / Biographical Questionnaire (PBQ)

Back to ATSA Preparation Suite

Introduction

Complete 15 questions, each containing 3 statements. For each question, allocate one statement to 'Most like me' and one to 'Least like me', leaving the third statement as 'Neutral'.

This test evaluates your personality traits and behavioral patterns through a structured questionnaire. You must carefully consider each statement in relation to your workplace behavior and preferences, then make strategic choices about which statements best and least describe you. The test helps identify your key personality characteristics, work style preferences, and behavioral tendencies.

The task

  • Read each question carefully - each question consists of a block of three statements
  • Think about how well each statement describes you in a workplace context
  • For each question, you must allocate one statement to 'Most like me' and one to 'Least like me'
  • The remaining statement will automatically be 'Neutral'
  • Click the 'Most like me' button for the statement that best describes you
  • Click the 'Least like me' button for the statement that least describes you
  • You can only select one statement for each category per question
  • Once you've made both selections, click 'Submit Answer' to confirm
  • After submitting, you'll see the correct answers and explanations
  • You have a limited time to answer each question

Priorities

  • Read all three statements carefully before making your selections
  • Think about how each statement applies to you in a workplace or professional context
  • Remember to emphasize strengths by choosing them as highly important ('Most like me')
  • Moderately important answers are meant to boost points, balance, and maintain authenticity
  • Less important answers refer to negative statements that oppose your key qualities
  • Be honest and authentic in your responses - the test is designed to assess your true personality
  • Don't overthink - go with your first instinct about which statements best describe you
  • Pay attention to the explanations after submitting - they help you understand the reasoning behind correct answers
