In short – very! 

We undertake a 4 dimensional assessment of an individual, enabling us to thoroughly analyse their strengths, weknesses and suitability for any given role as well as their fit within the organisational culture. By combining these 4 dimensions we are in the unique  position of being able to uncover what really drives an individual (what they can do for hours on end without getting bored).

No matter which of our services you require, they are all underpinned by our proprietary set of 3 Elenchus questionnaires. Covering a variety of aspects ranging from biometric data through to personality traits, we are able to accurately and objectively assess a person’s suitability to a role. We include both ipsative and normative assessments which improves the reliability of our assessments.

In an interview situation where candidates want to create the right impression, there may be a temptation to provide the answer a candidate thinks he or she should give. Our assessments ask the same question in many different ways in order to get around this problem. They also provide an objective measure of a person’s characteristics. As a result, cognitive biases that often have a powerful influence on the impressions people form of others, are eliminated.

The British Psychological Society (BPS) has established qualifications in test use, to ensure professionals using tests are appropriately trained. Our continuous membership of the BPS (for the last twenty years) means we have reached and maintained our standards of competence using psychological tests.

The term Psychometrics is derived from the Greek words “psychic” (soul) and metron (measure). As early as 400 BC, Hippocrates attempted to define and measure four basic temperament or personality types; sanguine, phlegmatic, melancholic and choleric. Psychologists have devised many different personality theories in an attempt to try and explain the behaviour of people. This has led to a huge range of Psychometric Tests, which purport to measure specific characteristics, some more successfully than others.

Yes, we provide a 2 hour generic introductory module. We also offer a more advanced module which is tailored to the specific needs of the client.

There is no such thing as a bad profile where we are concerned, just a bad fit. Most of the issues in the workplace emanate from a situation where the person is unsuited for the role in question.
