Industrial Psychology
 Why should I believe that Industrial Psychology would work for my business?
 Intuitively
we know that some people are shy, some are bold, some are
detail oriented and others are timid. There are hundreds of
traits and preferences that interact, representing the core
set of behavioral preference within each of us. Just like
our physical appearance, we are all unique when it comes to
behavioral characteristics. Industrial Psychology studies
these behavioral characteristics to better identify,
understand, and maximize potential of each individual’s
behavioral preferences. There is a rich history of research
and validation proving the effectiveness and validity of
Psychological Assessments, making them a common practice for
over a hundred years.

tools?
Psychological
Assessments are used worldwide in small and large companies.
In fact, most of the Fortune 500 use Psychological
Assessments every day. Other organizations that successfully
use Psychological Assessments include Non-profits; Foreign,
National, State, and Local Governments; Military; Public and
Private Education; Universities; Professional Athletes; and
many more.

The PeopleAnswers Assessment Tools
What makes the PeopleAnswers
tools better than others?
The
PeopleAnswers assessment solution provides our customers
with a battery of assessment surveys to better understand
their employees and candidates. All of the assessment
surveys we use are time tested and proven to accurately
identify behavioral traits. These surveys have been used on
hundreds of thousands of people from most every walk of
life. Our battery provides behavioral insight into up to 48 aspects of human behavior allowing our tools to produce
more detailed information and more accurate results than
other single assessment survey.
There are a lot of psychological
assessment tools out there. How do I know the assessment
tool you use is any good?
Our
battery of assessment surveys are backed by decades of
research and validation. Our assessments have proven
statistical validity for many years and we continue to study
and research our assessments. Combined, our
assessment tool measures up to 48 different psychological dimensions (five to ten times more than most other tests) to produce more detailed information and accurate results.
Is the
PeopleAnswers assessment tool available in other languages?
Not at this time, but a Spanish-language version should be released shortly.
How long does it take to complete the
surveys?
On
average, the assessment survey battery takes about 50
minutes to complete, depending on the individual and the
speed at which they read and respond to the items.
Can I use my own
assessment tools with the PeopleAnswers profiles and assessment system?
No,
our system is designed to capture and report specific
information that can be gained only from the combination of
the assessments included in our battery. This system was
developed with leading practitioners from Texas A&M and Rice
Universities.
How does a candidate who needs to
complete the survey access the PeopleAnswers system?
The
candidate will be provided with a web link that allows them
to take the battery of assessment surveys via the Internet
from any location. |
