Psychometric Testing
Psychometric Testing
Approved Courses use a computer-based testing system, which is one of the leading
international managerial aids to recruiting, selecting, training, counselling, career planning, team bonding and team management.
The test produces a Personal Profile Analysis (PPA), which identifies and utilises the individual’s strengths and enables employers to realise the full potential of their people. The use of our system assists managers to motivate, stimulate and energise individuals in the work environment and both directly and indirectly raise their self-esteem, confidence and enthusiasm.
The Personal Profile Analysis (PPA)
The Personal Profile Analysis is a powerful workplace inventory and can be used in virtually every aspect of human relations within the work environment. It assesses the individual’s self image, work strengths, self-motivation and comments on job emphasis, frustrations and the ideal boss.
