When The Testing Experts Aren't "Expert"

- or -

Don't Believe Everything That You Read Online

While doing research for this article I found many articles that were full of inaccuracies (based mostly upon personal opinions, and purely anecdotal examples) cautioning people not to trust or to use assessments. Speaking as one who has been in the industry for over a quarter-century, it’s upsetting to see just how much misinformation is out there, and how many well-intentioned people are offering up ‘expertise’ on subjects that they actually know very little about.

I’d like to share my 25+ years of experience and expertise with you, and provide some factual, reliable, and accurate information about assessment products. Personality tests have been around for close to 100 years and the research on personality has been conducted and replicated in thousands of studies around the world.

It’s absolutely true that no test is perfect or a panacea. No test should ever supersede one’s own judgement or replace other, standard, vetting processes. Testing is not, and should not be, the gateway to employment. What tests do offer is the ability to confirm what’s on a resume or stated in an interview, and drill deeper into an individual’s capabilities, deficits, and accurately predict on-the-job behaviours.

Do We Have Dependability Tests?

Boy! Do We Ever!

Having reliable employees that you can depend upon is important. You need stable employees who can be trusted, who think work is important, who are committed to doing their best, who show initiative, and who are willing to do more than is asked of them. We have a range of assessments that target these kinds of traits and abilities, and tell you who's going to be dependable, and who isn't.
