What We Do
Psychometric Profiling
We offer a responsive service tailored to your needs, so please contact us to discover how we can support your recruitment and development activities. We will be most pleased to discuss your company's particular needs and circumstances. We are licensed by the British Psychological Society and we use our expertise to select the most appropriate tools for your circumstances.
The effective use of ‘psychometric assessment’ plays a valuable role in making any selection process objective and fair. Occupational testing not only helps to protect your organisation from a discrimination or unfair dismissal claim but will also speed up your recruitment cycle, improve its accuracy and help promote you as a prospective employer to applicants who are increasingly in demand.
We employ a range of assessment tools to facilitate Recruitment, Selection, Personal Development and Organisational Development. They form an important part of a variety of key activities including team building, manpower planning, succession planning, assessment and career development centres.
Examples of some of the tests available are:
SHL Occupational Personality Questionnaire (OPQ32) - (available electronically):
Specifically designed for the world of work. A wide range of reports is available including Leadership and Team Styles (using Belbin), Management Competency Profile, Emotional Intelligence etc.
Belbin Team Types:
A team role as defined as: "A tendency to behave, contribute and interrelate with others in a particular way." Meredith’s work identified 9 clusters of behaviour – each of which is termed a team-role. Each team-role has a combination of strengths and allowable weaknesses. When you complete the Belbin self-perception inventory you will receive (among other reports) a ‘fingerprint’ of your preferences for each of the 9 Team Roles. You may find that you have 3 or 4 natural roles which you can use appropriately depending on the current situation. Very few people display characteristics of just one team role. The value of Belbin team-role theory lies in enabling an individual or team to benefit from self-knowledge and adjust according to the demands being made by the external situation. As Belbin Team Roles describe a pattern of behaviour this fingerprint isn’t fixed as many factors influence how we behave – for example a change in job. Ideally you should re-complete a Belbin self-perception inventory as you progress through your career. Each Belbin report is only a snapshot of behaviour at that one given time.
Myers Briggs (MBTI):
A self-report questionnaire designed for understanding normal personality differences. Used for a wide variety of purposes including, Career Development, Team Building, Management & Leadership, Training and Self Development.
Watson Glaser Critical Thinking Assessment:
A series of five exercises requiring the application of analytical reasoning skills - essential in any management role.
Rust Advanced Numerical Reasoning Appraisal:
Assesses the ability to recognise, understand and apply mathematical and statistical reasoning.The combination of Watson Glaser and Rust Numerical offers a demanding, high level assessment of numerical and verbal reasoning abilities – key skills when recruiting or assessing in the highly competitive management market.
