Re-engineering Psychometrics A synthesis of two powerful technologies: Consensus Five Factor Model Psychometrics + The power, flexibility and reach of the internet First generation online assessments simply transferred questionnaires from paper to internet pages. By harnessing the potential of both technologies, PROFILE:MATCH速 launches an exciting new generation of accessible, user friendly, high utility systems.

How is P:M different?

1. Tailored assessment

⎯ Targeted questionnaires and reports ⎯ 100% relevance ⎯ No redundant or distracting information ⎯ Standardised interpretation

Traditional occupational testing uses the same personality questionnaire for any role – leaving you to pick through the results for relevant findings. PROFILE:MATCH® tailors the assessment, building questionnaires that focus from the outset on the competencies that underpin high performance.

2. Competency-based from start to finish ⎯ Accessible work-place language ⎯ Integrated employee life-cycle assessment ⎯ No jargon or psycho-babble required

Jobs are always defined in terms of competence, “we need someone who would be able to do this”, and selection decisions are always made in terms of competence, “this candidate has/ hasn’t the competence to do this”. From start to finish, your dealings with PROFILE:MATCH® are entirely in this essential every-day language of competencies.

3. Competency metrics ⎯ Mixing primary colours (combining scales) ⎯ Finely calibrated competency ratings ⎯ 100% fair and consistent

Translating conventional personality profiles into competency judgments creates problems of consistency and fairness; “In such a complex and nuanced process, how can you guarantee that every candidate is treated equally?”. PROFILE:MATCH® interpretation uses ’competency metrics’ to carry the mathematical precision of the psychometrics through to competency ratings that are 100% fair and consistent.

4. Combining scales for robust conclusions ⎯ The smart alternative to fragmentation ⎯ Inferential (not literal) interpretation ⎯ Robust 40+ item basis for all competency ratings In popular questionnaires, large numbers of scales fragment the personality domain so that inferences are based on a few transparent items. The PROFILE:MATCH® approach recognises that FFM personality scales are the ‘primary colours’ of personality and mixes the ‘colours’ to capture the nuances of personality by combining scales. (e.g. Charisma = Sociability + Assertiveness + Sensitivity).

Primary colours of personality • Extroversion

» Loud, sociable, talkative, energetic, forceful and ambitious

• Agreeability

» Friendly, empathic, warm, harmonious, open, welcoming

• Conscientiousness

» Cautious, careful, conscientious, compliant and organised

• Neuroticism

» Emotional, sensitive, moody, self-critical, takes things personally

• Openness

» Curious, receptive to ideas, studious, imaginative, experience seeking
