What is an e-assessment?
Just like a regular assessment, an e-assessment can have a either a selection or a development goal. An e-assessment consists of a number of personality tests aimed at the personality, work styles and motives and possibly a number of capacity tests. The difference with a regular assessment is in the fact that there is no interview with an LTP advisor and that no role plays are done.

All parts of the e-assessment are taken on a secured website. This is why it is possible to do the e-assessment without capacity tests at home or at the office. You only need to have a computer with internet access. An e-assessment including capacity tests will need to be done in a controlled setting. This might mean you need to come to one of the LTP locations or that you are expected to go to a certain location in your organisation.

How should I prepare?
The most important factor when you do an e-assessment is that you can work in a quiet setting. Make sure no one can disturb you (turn down the volume of your telephone) and that your internet access is reliable. Aside from this, you don’t need any preparation for personality testsIf you have been invited to take part in an e-assessment including capacity tests, then you will do it in a controlled setting within your organisation. This place will be set up to ensure you can work without being disturbed. You may wish to practice for the capacity tests. Please go to Practice.

The most important tip: try to be relaxed when you start the e-assessment.

How does an e-assessment work?
You will receive an invitation prior to an e-assessment. Besides practical information, you will also find your log-in details. You can use these to log-in to a secured website where you can start your assessment.

When you are invited for an e-assessment in a controlled environment, you will generally be informed by your supervisor. Prior to the assessment, an appointment will be made with you by phone or email. You won’t need to log-in yourself, but someone will guide you during the day of the e-assessment.

Once you are logged-in and start the e-assessment, you will first see an overview of all the questionnaires and tests you need to complete. You can decide where to start and you can also take a break in between tests. Personality tests don’t have a time limit and you can take your time to fill those out. Capacity tests have a time-limit and must be completed in one go. When time is up the test will automatically close and you will no longer be able to make any adjustments. The remaining time for a test is always visible and it is not alarming if you have not finished all the assignments.

Who can I contact if I encounter technical problems?
Should you have technical issues, please contact our help desk at LTP: +31 (0) 20 30 50 438 or This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it . The help desk is available during office hours from 8.30 to 17.30.

How will I receive feedback about my results?
The report of an e-assessment is generated automatically. The reporting time is therefore very short. After you complete the e-assessment you will receive your report by email. In this report you will get results from the personality tests and (if applicable) capacity tests. An LTP advisor will discuss the report with you by telephone usually, but you can also come to one of our offices.

It is important for you to know that we will only send the report to your supervisor (or Human Resources advisor) once we have received consent from you. If you don’t wish to send the report, we will inform the recipient and not send it.
