Psychometrics

We specialise in offering a range of psychometrics. But we also recognise the value of many other tools. One of the most popular is NLP - click here for more information.

If you're not already familiar with psychometrics, here's a brief guided tour.

Psychometrics ("measuring the mind") fall into two main categories:

Personality measures (such as the Myers Briggs Type Indicator ®)

Measures of ability or aptitude (such as tests of numerical ability)

The benefits to both the individual and to businesses of understanding personality and ability are well known but may be summarised as including:

more reliable selection decisions, using objective criteria

informed career choice

identification of strengths and weaknesses

problem solving in teams

making informed personal development decisions

identifying tomorrow's "high fliers"

tackling stress and conflict positively

Most psychometrics are delivered either through paper and pencil questionnaires or, increasingly, on-line. Feedback is strictly controlled and is required by test developers and publishers to be undertaken by trained and accredited practitioners of the kind that you will find within consultancies like Aurora Perceptions Ltd.

In the final analysis it is always - and rightly - people that make the final decisions. Psychometrics should never be the final arbiter. However, they can add considerably and substantially to the quality of information available, resulting in the probability of much better, informed decisions being made by individuals and by businesses.

At Aurora we would be delighted to discuss with you if and how psychometrics might benefit you.
