Psychometric assessment South Africa

Bring your clients, employees, and organisation INTO FOCUS

The best psychometric instruments, independently sourced, researched and supported…

The use of Psychometric assessments has become entrenched in corporate, educational, clinical, forensic and other contexts, because of its ability to improve our insight and decision-making when it matters. If good judgment in the choice and combination of assessments is used you may experience many benefits, including:

• Significantly better quality of information on people, in a short period of time.
• Fair and objective comparisons of assessment results over time, across individuals, groups, societies or even cultures.
• Better information with which to structure an individual interview, guide reference checking or correlate with actual behaviour.
• Better information with which to improve your current interventions and processes.
• Higher levels of self awareness among your staff – a basic requirement of effective teams, managers and leaders.
• Know where individuals will best “fit” in your organisation.
• Anticipate high or low risk candidates with regards to, for instance, integrity or impulsivity.
• Reduced employee turnover, and subsequently the financial risk of employing the wrong people.
