Psychometrics is the field of study concerned with the theory and technique of educational and psychological measurement, which includes the measurement of knowledge, abilities, attitudes, and personality traits. The field is primarily concerned with the study of measurement instruments such as questionnaires and tests. It involves two major research tasks, namely: (i) the construction of instruments and procedures for measurement; and (ii) the development and refinement of theoretical approaches to measurement.
We pride ourselves on having the capacity to administer, deliver and feed-back to participants the ‘meaning’ behind the test and the different reports that are often generated from completing one of these ‘tests’.
Some, we or you may never have used or heard of. If this is the case, we’ll test their validity; unless it is an in-house tool you use which has already been done so e.g. internal 360 degree assessment.
The ones that we’re most familiar with and are accredited to use are as follows:
Insights – what colour are you? (personality-based)
Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) & MBTI Career Report (personality-based)
DISC (Dominance, Influence, Stability, Compliance) [personality-based]
Honey & Mumford’s Learning Styles – Activist, Reflector, Theorist, Pragmatist
Kouzes & Posner’s Leadership Practices Inventory – 360 degree global feedback tool
Team Management Systems (TMS)how you manage a team and how a team interacts
Belbin – one of 9 team roles that you play e.g. Resource Investigator, Coordinator
Firo-B – similar to MBTI and DISC (personality-based)
…And much more. We’ll weave this into your learning solution or independently at your request!
