Psychometric assessment
In the fast moving economic environment of the 21st Century it is important for organisations to identify and realise the potential of their people. The use of psychometric assessment has been shown to provide reliable, objective and cost-effective information about the personal attributes and abilities linked to job performance in existing and potential employees.
Psychometric assessment, when used in a professional, empathic and ethical way, can help to improve individual, team and organisational performance. A wide range of assessments can be used for selection and development purposes, and assessments are chosen to meet the characteristics and competencies identified as being important to a specific job function.
Key features and benefits:
Objectivity – the results of assessments are free from outside influence from administrators.
Validity – measurement across a range of characteristics or competencies is consistent for all respondents.
Reliability – all of the assessments we use have been thoroughly researched and are shown to measure in a consistent way..
Standardisation – all of the assessments used are administered and scored according to both the publisher and BPS strict guidelines. Results are then rated against the most appropriate norm group data.
Fair – psychometric assessments do identify differences between individuals, but only regarding the areas being assessed, which removes the possibility of unfair discrimination on the basis of irrelevant characteristics.
We adhere to the ethical standards of the BPS when using any form of assessment.
