Psychometrics

In the fast moving economic environment of the 21^st 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, improves individual and organisational performance by maximising the diverse nature, talents, creativity and abilities of people. A wide range of assessments can be used for selection and development purposes, and assessments are chosen to meet the characteristics or competencies identified as important for selection or development.

The key features and benefits of psychometric assessments are:

Objectivity – the results of assessments are free from influence by the personal biases of administrators.

Validity – measurement across a range of characteristics or competencies is consistent.

Reliability – all of the assessments we use have been thoroughly researched and are shown to measure in a consistent way. Any potential error is therefore reduced and quantifiable.

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 characteristic or competency being assessed. As a result there is no unfair discrimination on the basis or irrelevant characteristics.

We adhere to the ethical standards of the BPS when using any form of assessment.
