TW PFO. Sorry for the negativity, but I really don't think that TW's arctic shores assessment is a true or fair representation of our personalities. I scored 0 for interpersonal skills which I find hard to believe.
Sorry about the PFO for TW, I received my PFO this morning too.

I completely agree, though the test was more 'enjoyable' than some other types of test, my report was not at all reflective of my personality and entirely clashed with feedback I have been given by other people or firms. I too scored really low on 'feels less energised by social situations' - I don't understand how this could have been gaged at all considering the test had nothing to do with this/no opportunity to interact with anyone! I was excited by the idea of a different kind of assessment until I received the report... 😒
