Nowadays, psychometric tools have been shown to be amongst our most powerful aids in the crucial problem of selecting, developing and coaching people in the workplace.
Although the uses of objective assessment have been proven, it is still often perceived as something only used in the recruitment process of very senior people, something that candidates should fear or simply meaningless psycho-babble. As with most things that are misunderstood, it is none of the above.
We can break-down the word ‘psychometric’ to understand exactly what it means: ‘psycho’ refers to the mind or our mentality and ‘metric’ means measurement. Psychometric testing, therefore, refers to the measurement of our likely behaviours or our task orientated ability. In today’s workplace psychometric tools are designed to objectively assess a person’s potential to carry out a specified job effectively.
This workshop provides you with a thorough grounding in the use of psychometric assessment in the workplace. There are no gruelling ‘end-of course tests’ and, although there is a little calculation involved, it is kept at a pragmatic level. Some of the leading business psychologists in the UK who have worked all over the world in the specialist field of human assessment
deliver the workshop.
