Psychometric testing FBS can provide a
range of psychometric testing services across ability tests, aptitude tests,
personality profiles and other instruments. The service is available in any
situation where an organisation has need of individual personal assessments
e.g. recruitment and selection, succession planning, personal development,
assessment & development centres. We can advise on
testing in general as well as the suitability of tests. A full design and
delivery service is offered or we will be happy to simply administer tests on
your behalf. We follow the
codes of the British Psychological Society and are registered with them to
ensure a reliable and quality service that conforms to good practice. These four instruments
are published by Harcourt Assessment (formerly The Psychological Corporation)
and represent examples of the various psychometric tests that we use. Personality
Profiling Orpheus: A work based measure of personality developed entirely in the
UK based on the 'big five' model. It is useful in selection, team-building
and personal development. Giotto: A wide-ranging measure of personal integrity entirely
developed in the UK. It looks at seven dimensions that may provide protection
against carelessness, lack of commitment, hostility, disciplinary problems,
disrespect, theft and inability to cope with change. Ability Testing Watson-Glaser
Critical Thinking Appraisal UK: The industry standard and highly demanding test of critical
thinking measures the abilities that are key to effective decision making. It
measures high level verbal reasoning across 5 key areas - drawing inferences,
recognising assumptions, argument evaluation, deductive reasoning and logical
interpretation. Differential
Aptitude Tests for Selection: A battery of tests that measure different types of ability or
aptitude, they are in two components, General Abilities Battery and Technical
Abilities Battery. Instruments from other
test publishers are available including Saville and Holdsworth (SHL) and
Oxford Psychologists Press (OPP) in the UK and Psychological Assessment
Resources Inc in the USA. Assessment
& development centres Assessment
centres are a well-known and established tool in recruitment and selection.
Development centres, an adaptation of assessment centres, are now popular in
the employee development process, helping to identify and confirm development
needs in individuals. We are available
to design and run assessment & development centres or simply to support
an organisation in running its own. A complete service is available including
advice and design of competencies if this is required. |
