The importance of "Good Match"
This site provides you with information about how to prepare and what to expect from a psychological assessment.
Psychological assessments are used to provide important information about how you will fit in a future organisational job or role. They may also be used as a focal point for awareness and development of behaviour. Good assessments should provide both you and the employer with a better understanding of how you match the requirements of the organisation, and what this implies for any future collaboration.
Some of the most common psychological assessments used in an organisational setting are tests of ability and personality:
Ability Tests
Ability tests tests look at your ability for complex logical reasoning: At what level of complexity can you solve problems correctly? This is critical in many jobs, as we use this kind of reasoning every day to deal with decisions and other job tasks. Example of ability tests are Master's ACE and CORE, which are both used for recruitment.
Personality Profiles
Personality profiles look at your individual preferences and in relation to others. Preferences rarely describe a person's only way to behave, but indicate the person's traits and most typical behaviours when they are not deliberately trying to modify it. An example of an personality test is Master's BRIGHT, MPA, EASI, and OPTO.
BRIGHT, MPA, and OPTO describes your preferences in detailed scales and is used for recruitment and development. Master's EASI is a typology profile which describes preferences for four basic personality types. EASI is used for personal development and to improve team dynamics.
