Wingfinder in den Medien

"In what is probably the most comprehensive public version of a scientifically robust gamified assessment, Red Bull Wingfinder enables participants to identify their best career-related aptitudes by completing picture based personality test and quick logical- reasoning quizzes.

"Follower characteristics also play a critical role in employability. Research shows those who are smart, are creative, are easy to get along with, can solve problems, and get things done are much more likely to get hired and keep a job than those who are dumb, unimaginative, lazy, and difficult to be around… Red Bull, has worked with a group of prominent psychologists to develop Wingfinder, an online assessment designed specifically to assess a person’s employability. The assessment is free and can be accessed at wingfinder.com. Your Wingfinder results will tell you whether or not you are employable."

"One key tool for being self-aware is to understand your personality. Your personality is basically the story you have about yourself. This story is consistent over time and it shapes how we see the world, how we interact with people and, in turn, how they respond to us.

Through psychometric testing, Wingfinder reveals what your personality is and gives you insight into your reputation, or how others probably see you. Such psychometric assessments take your internal story and use that to predict how you will behave and in turn how others see you."
