Addition to the PPA

Combined with the Thomas International PPA report, one or more Additional Reports can also be ordered that focus on a specific issue. The candidate doesn’t need to complete an extra questionnaire for this purpose; the questionnaire for the PPA acts as a basis. You can therefore gain more in-depth information into the PPA report according to the specific issue of your choice. This enables you to match candidates to jobs and provides insight into specific key traits.

A PPA order includes the following reports:


  • The Personal Profile Analysis (PPA
