Abstract

A personality or psychological test is a measurement or assessment activity through a systematic effort to reveal certain psychological aspects of an individual. This writing is structured to determine a mobile-based online personality test using the 16PF test tool in determining employee positions. The test also includes a comprehensive measure of normal personality which has been shown to be effective because it requires an in-depth needs assessment. The choice of this research is because the role of employees is significant in a company. Employee performance depends on the placement of the employee’s position. The subjects used in this study were employees who would be placed in a job and used the 16 PF (The Sixteen Personality Factor Questionnaire) measurement method. Expert System is a system built to transfer the ability of one or several experts into a computer that is used to solve problems faced by users in a particular field. The author builds a mobile-based expert system application that is able to help recognize a person’s personality. The process of making the application uses an object-oriented methodology with Unified Modeling Language (UML) visual modeling. The results of this study indicate that the 16 PF measuring instrument can be used to place employees in a position based on their personality.
