About Thomas PPA & HJA

The Personal Profile Analysis is based on the DISC theory propounded by Prof. Marston. It is a work-related behavioral inventory, which provides insights about the behavioral aspects of an individual.

It describes an individual on three different aspects:

• Work Mask: Describes an individual’s behavior at work place
• Pressure Profile: Describes how an individual is likely to behave under extreme pressure situations.
• Self Image: Describes an individual’s inherent or core behavior.

The Human Job Analysis is a behavioral benchmark for a position. This indicates major behavioral traits/characteristics expected in the incumbent to make him /her more effective in the role assigned.
