The True-to-Life™ Leader presents a set of brief descriptions or enactments of situations, and respondents must evaluate a set of possible alternative responses. The situations presented are work-related and tailored to supervisory positions. True-to-Life™ Leader therefore provides insight into a candidate’s likely on-the-job behaviors by asking candidates to indicate how effective they believe different possible responses would be to each scenario. It also provides candidates with a window into the types of scenarios they might expect to encounter on the job, adding an element of a realistic job preview to your pre-hire process.
In addition to the situational judgment scenarios, candidates respond to questions from the ViewPoint General Personality Survey (GPS) asking about work-related behaviors, preferences, and personal characteristics. The True-to-Life™ Leader battery ensures that candidates possess the range of skills, abilities, and characteristics needed to succeed in a supervisory role.
The scenarios and questions were developed through careful job analysis and evaluation of incidents critical to job success. Care was taken to ensure the scenarios and questions would appear realistic and job-related to applicants. The job relevancy of True-to-Life™ Leader contrasts favorably with other assessments that contain numerous test items with little or no relevancy to the job.
The TTL assessment battery has a time limit of 60 minutes; however, respondents typically complete the battery in approximately 40 minutes.
Accurate, defensible, engaging, and easy to use, the True-to-Life™ Leader assessments are modular and completely scalable. They can be administered to candidates alone or in combination with other relevant assessments, such as those designed to measure specific cognitive abilities or knowledge areas.
Whether you’re looking to assess 10 candidates or 10 thousand, True-to-Life™ Leader is available immediately, and reporting is instantaneous. True-to-Life™ Leader offers a Manager Report designed to provide candidate results and insights to recruiters, hiring managers, or interviewers, as well as a Participant Report designed to provide feedback directly to the candidate if desired, which can aid subsequent on-boarding or coaching efforts.
The Manager Report provides an Overall Participant Score indicating the candidate’s overall likelihood of success on the job, as well as scores on Key Competencies and job relevant Performance Outcomes (listed below), and suggested interview questions for each Key Competency.
The Participant Report provides narrative descriptions of the candidate’s results on each Key Competency, whether that competency represents a strength or development need for the candidate, and developmental feedback to candidates based on their competency results and designed to enhance competency related performance.
Key Competencies reported on the Manager and Participant reports include:
- Communicating Effectively
- Executing & Delivering on Objectives
- Decision Making & Strategic Planning
- Delegating & Distributing Work
- Establishing & Maintaining Relationships
- Achieving Consensus
