🧠 Overview
The BestWork Questionnaire is designed to be taken once in a lifetime. This approach ensures both the accuracy of the results and the integrity of how the information is used to support career and organizational development. Unlike surveys or skill assessments that may vary over time, the BestWork Questionnaire measures foundational traits that remain consistent throughout adult life.
🔍 What Does the Questionnaire Measure?
BestWork is a modern psychometric instrument based on over 20 years of research in behavioral science. It measures:
Core personality traits
Work-related thinking and behavioral styles
Natural abilities and preferences
These traits stabilize after the age of 16 and rarely change in meaningful ways over time, even with training, education, or work experience.
🛑 Why It’s Only Taken Once
There are several important reasons why we limit participants to one completion of the questionnaire:
1. Foundational Traits Don’t Change
The traits measured are biologically and neurologically stable. Repeating the questionnaire would not provide new insights or change your results.
2. Ensures Data Integrity
Allowing multiple submissions would introduce confusion and inconsistency in reporting, making it harder to rely on the data for accurate decision-making by individuals, coaches, or organizations.
3. Prevents Gaming or Overthinking
Taking the questionnaire only once avoids the tendency to over-analyze or attempt to “game” the system by answering differently for different outcomes. This preserves the authenticity of results.
4. Supports Long-Term Use
Because your BestWork Profile is built on stable data, it becomes a long-term resource. You can refer back to it at different stages in your career without needing to retake the assessment.
💡 What If I Think My Situation Has Changed?
Even if your job, environment, or confidence level has changed, your core traits have not. Instead of retaking the questionnaire, we recommend:
Reviewing your BestWork report with a coach or manager
Exploring how your traits interact with new environments or responsibilities
Using updated tools and reports based on your original results
🔄 Can I Request a Retake?
In rare cases of technical error or incomplete responses, support may allow a one-time retake. However, this is only granted under specific circumstances, such as:
Accidental submission before completion
Verified technical glitches
Misunderstanding instructions
If you believe one of these applies, contact our support team.
