At Edge Careers, we are always looking at how we can improve our offering to our candidates and clients so we can deliver the highest quality recruitment solution possible. One of our offerings that you may not be aware of, is our psychometric testing, which we offer to all clients when our candidate is at interview stage.
I’ve heard of Psychometric Testing, but what exactly is it?
Psychometric testing is simply a way of assessing a candidate’s individual personality, attitude and motivations in the workplace. This allows a client to see if a candidate would suit the company and the role they have been put forward to. There are four key styles that are tested as part of the DiSC psychometric testing, which are Dominance, Influence, Conscientiousness and Steadiness. Everyone has a mixture of all four styles but will have a bias towards one or two styles this will be shown by where the dot falls on the DiSC illustration.
Why do Edge use DiSC Psychometric Testing?
Edge Careers uses the DiSC psychometric testing because, every profile is:
- Valid and reliable – respondents are amazed by the accuracy and detail of their reports
- Memorable – with no complicated letters and numbers to remember
- Extremely well written – constructed, and presented. Each profile appears to have been written by an adept human author rather than a computer!
- Application specific – offering different adaptations of a profile and model to serve different populations- specifically leaders, managers, sales people and general staff in an organisation.
- Relatable and applicable meaning the learning is easily transferred into the workplace
- Quick and simple to administer – each questionnaire is completed on-line in just 15 minutes and can be immediately accessed
How accurate are the results?
The Psychometric test uses the most advanced assessment method (adaptive testing) and sophisticated algorithms to quickly and accurately analyse a person’s responses and provide personalised feedback.
