Red Bull Wingfinder measures personality, a prediction of future behavior that is consistent over time. Personality assessments such as Wingfinder are commonly used in selection as they are efficient, more predictive and less discriminatory than classic evaluation methods such as resume screening and abilities assessments. Wingfinder is based on 30 years of psychological research, carried out across thousands of scientific studies and analyses that clearly point to four areas, more influential than any others, as components of employability and career success for knowledge-based jobs. The Wingfinder model has four areas: Connections, Thinking, Creativity and Drive. Each area of the Wingfinder model comprises different strengths, 25 in total, offering millions of possible unique combinations. Wingfinder assesses these four areas in 35 minutes with approximately 280 questions through four different assessment formats. Different to many personality assessments, Wingfinder is designed for use at the very begining of a selection process in order to maximize the value delivered to both the applicants and the hiring team. It helps recruiters in their selection process by providing valid and reliable information about a candidate's likelihood of success very early in the selection process but it also delivers value to candidates with a personalized strengths report and coaching plan. Wingfinder is already integrated with most major applicant tracking systems; custom integrations are also possible.

For many companies, including nearly all Fortune 500 companies, personality assessments are a common part of the recruitment process. The challenge is to find an assessment that has been validated for use during selection, focuses on the most important criteria and delivers valid and precise outcomes.

Wingfinder was validated using existing psychological tests from IPIP, which is one of the most widely used batteries of benchmark tests of psychological constructs. The Thinking factor of Wingfinder measures the ability to reason abstractly and solve complex problems using spatial and numerical reasoning. Thinking was benchmarked using the ICAR‐16 measure of cognitive ability, a globally used benchmark, as well as Hogan Assessment's "Matrigma" assessment. There are ongoing validations to make sure the test stays accurate and reliable, including studies around content, discriminant, convergent, internal and predictive validity, disparate impact and reliability studies. This gives the opportunity to continually enhance Wingfinder to be a valuable tool for people both applying for roles and seeking development feedback.

The foundation of high-performance at work is self-leadership which is a developed sense of who you are, what you can do and where you are going. By recognizing the value of self-insight and the significance of personality, managers can learn how to most effectively lead a team based on their own strengths and manage different personalities on the team. This way, they can identify ways to create an environment that increases the opportunity to be successful and create an action plan to become more effective and help their team do the same. Red Bull Wingfinder offers a one-day workshop that focuses acheiving high-performance at work through self-insight. The workshop is suitable for both managers and individual contributors. By participating in the workshop, you will gain insight into how you lead yourself and realize the impact this has on others.

Building a strong and talented team starts with choosing the right people - this is why the recruitment process plays such a big role in every company's success. Personality assessments such as Wingfinder are commonly used in selection as they are efficient, more predictive and less discriminatory than classic evaluation methods such as resume screening, interviews and abilities assessments. Logically, it makes sense that the way people behave and relate should impact team performance. We also expect team success to be affected by things besides personality, such as the calibre of the team members' skills and training, the competence of the team leader, the state of the team's resources and the support provided inside the firm. Amid all of that noise, the fact that we observe frequent relationships between personality and teams reveals that we are dealing with a powerful mechanism. Successful teams have an awareness of their composition and understand that a balance of personalities and strengths is important for effective performance. Wingfinder measures four areas showing high correlation to success in all knowledge-based roles: Connections, Thinking, Creativity and Drive. Each area of the Wingfinder model comprises different strengths, 25 in total, offering millions of possible unique combinations.

No for roles at Red Bull we believe there are many different views of what specific behaviours make people successful in different roles and many different people, with many different strengths can be successful. The combination and levels of different Wingfinder strengths (there are 25 in total) predicts the likelihood of career success - not a single strength. Wingfinder is based on a foundational model of personality and ability factors (RAW) that are needed in any role and in any company: People need to be Rewarding to deal with (connections), Able and smart enough (thinking), Willing (drive) no matter the role, seniority or organization.

In a perfect world, job interviews (and interviewers) would be able to gauge your talents with great accuracy. However, talent can be hard to judge so we need to do some (humble) self-promotion in the interview to share our strengths and show how we tick all the boxes. So how can we communicate our talent without coming across like a show-off? This is where self-insight comes in - your competitive advantage lies in being aware of your strengths and shortcomings. This enables you to provide strong, authentic, real answers and examples during an interview. Your strengths in Creativity and Thinking help demonstrate your approach to your work, your Drive strengths show your motivation and determination and your Strengths in Connections exemplify how you build relationships. Use your insights from the Creativity, Thinking, Drive and Connections sections in your Wingfinder report to prepare your unique selling points. Make sure you feel comfortable talking about everything that you mentioned in your application.
