Send the Multiple Intelligences from Lever in 10 minutes
When the Lever adapter ships (target H2 2026), Multiple Intelligences will arrive in Lever as a coordinator-facing role-positioning tool rather than a screening filter. Lever's Feedback Forms architecture works well for MI specifically because the framework is multidimensional and interpretive — the eight domain scores (linguistic, logical-mathematical, spatial, musical, bodily-kinaesthetic, interpersonal, intrapersonal, naturalistic) plus top-three list read as a profile narrative rather than a numeric gate. Coordinators positioning candidates inside teams find the format clearer than single-score outputs; pair with Big Five or cognitive ability for the actual hire decision, MI alone is positioning.
Validity
Howard Gardner's Multiple Intelligences framework (Frames of Mind, 1983) lacks the predictive-validity track record of Big Five or cognitive ability — published validation studies show construct overlap with Big Five openness rather than independent predictive lift. Use it inside Lever for role-fit conversation and team-composition mapping, not as a primary hire-no-hire filter.
Send the Multiple Intelligences from Lever
From Lever admin to first scored candidate.

Add the JobCannon Lever integration
From Lever admin settings, add JobCannon as an Assessment Partner. Paste your Basic Auth credentials (sandbox first, production after the first test cycle). One-time setup, takes 3 minutes.
- 2
Create a Lever scorecard mapped to Multiple Intelligences dimensions
In your job template, create a scorecard section per Multiple Intelligences dimension. Each dimension maps 1:1 to a numeric attribute on the Lever scorecard — no provider-specific glue needed.
- 3
Trigger the Multiple Intelligences on the candidate's stage transition
Add "Send Multiple Intelligences" as an automatic action when candidates enter the assessment stage. The candidate receives a co-branded Lever email and completes the 10-minute form on mobile or desktop.
- 4
View the score envelope in the candidate profile
The full Multiple Intelligences score envelope (dimensions, bands, narrative summary) lands in the Lever candidate profile within 30 seconds of submission. Recruiters review without leaving Lever.
Sample score envelope
The exact JSON shape your Lever scorecard receives back. Every JobCannon assessment uses the same dimensions[].score envelope so ranking logic stays consistent across tests.

}Other assessments for Lever hiring
Run a different cut on the same candidate by sending one of these from the same Lever pipeline.
Big Five (OCEAN)
personality test
Big Five conscientiousness has the strongest meta-analytic link to job performance of any single personality dimension — corrected ρ ≈ .31 across 117 studies (Barrick & Mount 1991, Personnel Psychology). The NEO-PI-R is the gold-standard instrument and forms the basis of JobCannon's 50-item adaptation, which returns five normalised dimension scores per candidate.

DISC
behavioural style assessment
DISC measures observable behaviour patterns (dominance, influence, steadiness, conscientiousness) rather than performance predictors. Its meta-analytic correlation with job performance is modest (~.10-.15, lower than Big Five). Use it inside Lever for team-fit and communication-style mapping at the interview-feedback stage, not as a primary hiring filter.

EQ (Emotional Intelligence)
emotional intelligence assessment
Emotional intelligence shows incremental predictive validity over cognitive ability and Big Five for jobs with high emotional-labour demands — corrected ρ ≈ .24 for customer-facing and people-management roles (Joseph & Newman 2010, Journal of Applied Psychology, k=88). Less informative for back-office, technical, or independent-contributor roles.

Frequently asked
When does the Lever integration ship?+
Target H2 2026, after the Assessment-API-native adapters (Greenhouse, Ashby, Workable).
Is Multiple Intelligences EEOC-defensible for Lever hiring?+
MI is defensible only as a development or role-fit input, not a primary hiring filter. The framework lacks the predictive-validity track record Big Five and cognitive ability ship with, so any pass-fail decision anchored on MI scores would be hard to defend if challenged. Use it inside Lever for strength-mapping conversations rather than screening cuts.
How will MI appear on the Lever candidate profile?+
As a structured Feedback Form: eight domain scores plus a top-three list and 1-paragraph narrative summary. Visible inline with interview feedback in Lever's coordination view.
Can I send Multiple Intelligences from Lever today?+
Not natively. Bridge today via the JobCannon REST API by listening to your Lever webhook events and POSTing assessment invitations.
How long does Multiple Intelligences take?+
Median candidate completion is 10 minutes on JobCannon's 48-item form.
How do I express interest in early access?+
