Psychometric Assessment - Online Systems & Expert Interpretation
Psychometric Assessment, or ‘psych testing’ as it is often referred to, offers a means to objectively measure an individual’s current strengths, limitations and future potential. Being able to benchmark individuals and teams against comparison groups (norms) can yield powerful data for decision making - that is, if the process is designed and implemented effectively. This includes appropriate test selection, professional administration and expert interpretation.
Beilby designs and delivers a range of best practice Psychometric Assessment services that deliver results. Assessment methods are carefully chosen to ensure their relevance or validity given the purpose of the assessment. Online assessment processes deliver a great participant experience as assessments can be completed 24/7 and security concerns are overcome by using valid tests designed specifically for a controlled online environment.
The range of tools used is broad including; aptitude tests, personality and behavioural style questionnaires, motivation questionnaires, values and career interest inventories, tests of reliability and safety. All are designed to give an accurate measure of an individual’s or a team’s capabilities, development needs, risk areas and areas of untapped potential.
As the main Australian distributor of GeneSys Online, Beilby can provide direct access to a web-based assessment system together with the necessary training to use it. For large users of psychometric testing, bringing this expertise in house is not only enormously cost effective and time efficient but can also deliver direct benefits in engaging, retaining and developing your staff. Staff will be trained to directly access the unique information provided by psychometric testing, and have direct access to our registered organisational psychologists for support and advice.
To support this assessment system Beilby provides a three day training course. This comprises; An Introduction to Psychometric Testing and Test Administration (day one), Statistics for Psychometric Testing and Test Interpretation (day two), and Assessment Software and Test Feedback (day three). Each half day module can be completed separately according to need. However, to be an accredited test administrator requires the completion of both modules on day one and to be fully accredited requires completion of all three days training.
