Welcome
Thank you, in advance, for completing The Work Chemistry ProfileTM. Normally it takes about 15 minutes or less to complete and we have found that first impressions work best.
  1. Please complete all 80 items or your input cannot be scored, and you will not receive your Work Chemistry Profile results.
  2. Please do not think this is a test where high scores are better than low scores. Avoid extremes (highest or lowest) unless you know you for sure you are extreme for that item.
  3. Please be honest and accurate as to the "real you" NOT how you would like to be perceived. Try not to "Impress". Instead be brutally honest as you mark your answers below.
