Psychometric & Personality Testing
Whether you are a believer or a doubter People Vision would like to assure you that these are VERY well researched and over the years have been proved to really work.
When used as assessment tools they should complement and support other programmes and exercises.
Psychometric testing is based on either Aptitude (testing skills such as verbal, numerical reasoning and logical thinking) and Personality testing. We would make specific recommendations, based on the picture of the individual as a whole, depending on their role in the business.
Our consultants are accredited users of a range of personality questionnaires that can be included in your development centre; such as the :
-
16PF - Sample report we can provide for the employee and manager

These tests may be used for the following activities:
-
Career counseling

Employee redundancy selection

Executive Coaching
-
Management Development
-
Recruitment
-
Team Building
Application for Recruitment and Selection
As a first step it can assist companies, big or small, to understand some of the key personality traits of their existing high-performing employees. Armed with this information you can then decide to target potential candidates with those traits in future recruitment campaigns.
It may be that you can’t decide between a couple of excellent candidates and would like some external support to build a deeper understanding of the individuals.
Benefits of Psychometric Testing
- Deeper knowledge of the individual
- Confirmation of gut feelings you may have had from face-to-face interactions
- Ability to benchmark candidates against each other, especially in aptitude testing in an objective manner
