The top 5 reasons companies are dissatisfied with their choice of assessment tools:

1.  They pick an assessment tool someone has taken in the past.

2.  They choose a tool that a friend-of-a-friend used at another company.

3.  They choose an instrument that seems the least threatening.

4.  They choose a tool because they have always used it.

5.  They pick a one-size-fits-all tool because the website says that it will meet all their needs.

Implicit in all of these dissatisfactions is the single most valuable lesson you can learn about assessment tools; they are only useful if they address your specific needs.

To use assessment tools successfully, you need two things:

1. You need to know your specific needs.

and

2. You need someone who is familiar with a wide variety of assessment tools and who can help you pick the test that’s right for you.

What do you want out of your assessment instruments? Here are some examples:

If the instrument is supposed to be for team building, you want a tool that can increase team member’s rapport and understanding of one another without being too threatening.

If you wish to seek the strengths of a team, you will want a tool that points out individual styles and how they work together.

If you are looking for the general strength of a team and the direction they moving the organization, you need a test that will show the synergy of the group and their influence on the organization.

Let’s say that you are looking for a executive who is capable of consistently superior judgment, there are tests that focus on the accuracy of perception and the person’s capability to make decisions quickly and accurately.

These are just a few of the questions you may expect your assessment instrument to answer.
All different, all legitimate.

Ask us about what kind of questions you may want to answer and what test instruments you will find most helpful in answering them.

  6. Superior website. I like your posting comments system. Sorry for the off-topic post, yet I was incredibly astounded with Djokovic’s play in the final of the Australian OPen this yr. The man is just unequalled. He proved he was as strong as metal. Simply imagine about he he can overcome Nadal who had previously been so determined to win as well as really was so pumped up during the fifth set. Now i’m starting to feel that Djokovic is doing some spiritual work to bring some aids on his side to help him win this kind of matches against the greatest players in the world
