Frequently asked questions

What is the SHL OPQ32 test?

The SHL OPQ32 (Occupational Personality Questionnaire) is a personality assessment used by recruiters worldwide. It measures 32 personality dimensions across three domains — Relationships with People, Thinking Style, and Feelings & Emotions — using a forced-choice ipsative format with 104 questions.

Is this OPQ32 practice test free?

Who uses the SHL OPQ32 in recruitment?

The SHL OPQ32 is the most widely used personality questionnaire in corporate recruitment. It is deployed by the Big 4 (Deloitte, PwC, EY, KPMG), major banks, insurance companies, large industrial groups, consulting firms, and government agencies in over 50 countries.

How accurate is this OPQ32 practice compared to the real test?

Our practice test uses the exact same forced-choice ipsative format as the real SHL OPQ32, with AI-generated questions calibrated against the 32-dimension framework. The IRT adaptive algorithm adjusts difficulty to your level, giving you a realistic preview of how you will score on the actual assessment.

How long does the OPQ32 take?

The official SHL OPQ32 takes 25 to 40 minutes — there is no time pressure but you cannot pause once started. Our practice mode allows you to pause and resume so you can train at your own rhythm before the real assessment.

Can I retake the OPQ32 practice multiple times?

Yes. Unlike the real OPQ32 (typically taken once per recruitment process), you can retake our practice as many times as you need to refine your responses, understand the dimensions, and build confidence before your actual assessment.
