Psychometric Testing

Psychometric testing is now a fundamental part of recruitment. Even so, everyday more companies are integrating it as part of their process in getting the right people for the job. Prima Ardelle Associates in conjunction with myDISCprofile are now offering you the chance to survey your own behavioural profile.

A psychometric test profile can be an excellent extra to add on to your CV. Employers will get a better understanding about what makes you tick and how you behave. There are many forms of psychometric analysis. Prima Ardelle Associates utilise the world renowned myDISCprofile version.

What can I expect from my personal profile?

DISC measures four factors of an individual's behaviour: Dominance, Influence, Steadiness and Compliance. They can be characterised as assertiveness, communication, patience and structure.

DISC, interprets the relations between these factors. For example where a highly Dominant person has an equally high level of Influence, they will behave quite differently to an equally Dominant individual without that Influence. The factors combine like this to provide (theoretically) around one million different profiles.

Using this information, DISC can be used to describe a person's general approach, their motivations and dislikes, strengths and development areas, and some of the basic assumptions they make about other people. It can also go far in helping to predict how a person will react or perform in various circumstances for example in a sales environment.

Using behavioural profiling tools helps candidates understand more about themselves and the roles for which they are most suited.

However, don't take our word for it. As you can see from the following quotes, psychometric testing is fast becoming an integral part of the recruitment process.

"It has been estimated that some 70 per cent of UK organisations test their workforce either for personality or ability before making a job offer or conferring a promotion."- Personnel Today magazine

Miss L Wilcox – Personal Account Advisor

“…. We always utilise assessments as part of our selection process. It is clear to us the difference between candidates that have taken some kind of personal profile and ones that haven’t. Understandably we tend to make job offers available to candidates that have taken an interest both in ourselves as an organisation as well as a vested interest in their own personal development”

HR Manager - Personal Finance Company

“ I had been in sales for 3 years and looking for the next step up into sales management against two other internal candidates. The enhanced report showed me clearly my positive attributes and allowed me to sell myself at a three stage panelled interview process. Obviously I may not have secured this position, that I really wanted had I not been aware of all of my skills which were transferable for this role – I can not praise the enhanced report highly enough.
