Psychometric Profiling

Psychometric Profiling provides you with an objective method for understanding an individual whether for screening, selection, personal development or team building. Human Factors offer a full range of selection packages. Each assessment is designed specifically to measure the competency requirements of your job role. We provide assessments in more than 20 languages and 40 countries worldwide.


The British Psychological Society reviewed one of our Psychometric tests, and had the following to say:

Full Service

Once you have completed the booking form, Human Factors will contact your participant, organise the most appropriate location and assign a local, fully qualified administrator to guide them through the assessment. We will then interpret the results and provide you with a full, written report within 48 hours. Where more urgent results are required, we can provide this by telephone within an hour of the assessment.

Self Service

If you have completed appropriate training then you can register with Human Factors. We are then able to provide you with access to all of the materials needed to administer your own assessments, allowing you greater flexibility whilst also reducing your assessment costs. Of course we will still support you with a telephone helpdesk as well as expert interpretation of the results and written reports.

	Full Service	Self Service
Five Star assessment
Determine the personal characteristics required for future success of senior executives, ensuring you make the right selection decisions and allowing them to understand how to maximise their potential. Five Star Assessments include a full battery of psychometric assessments, structured interviews and simulation exercises to test how a candidate applies themselves to challenging business situations. The written report can be adapted to include areas of specific interest to you. The report and videos of interviews, presentations and other exercises are provided within 48 hours. If more urgent results are required, these can be provided by telephone within one hour of the assessment. Five Star Assessments require the Full-Service administration option.
Four Star assessment
An extensive, four hour assessment that incorporates a comprehensive, sixteen factor personality questionnaire with tests, exercises and case studies chosen to measure the participant’s ability to perform in their current role and their potential to develop in the future.When combined with the Developmental Feedback option, this is an excellent management or executive development intervention. And the detailed, objective report is ideal for informing your senior management selection decisions.
Three Star assessment
Human Factors will analyse your job description and work with you to determine the most appropriate assessment package and an ideal profile. The resulting two hour assessment will include a personality questionnaire, general reasoning tests, and other exercises and case studies chosen to specifically measure the most important competencies for the job role. The report can be matched to the ideal profile and can incorporate interview questions if required. This is ideal for management and executive selection or as part of an assessment or development centre.
Two Star assessment
This assessment provides a targeted individual assessment matched against job title and seniority, eg sales manager or financial executive. The resulting report will identify generic areas of strength or development needs which can be used for personal development or to support graduate or management selection decisions.
One Star assessment
The one star assessment will help you to distinguish those applicants who meet basic requirements from those who are definitely not suitable. It is also a useful addition to personal development programmes, helping to raise self awareness. The half hour assessment consists of a personality questionnaire and verbal and numerical ability tests. Minimal training is required for you or your hiring managers to administer these assessments under Self-Service and reports will be emailed to you within a few minutes of completion.

Developmental Feedback

Ideal for successful applicants of senior job roles or for executives looking to improve their performance. Developmental feedback consists of a half day with a consultant. During this time the results of the assessment will be explored in the context of the job role. The outcome is an action plan and set of methods for exploiting key strengths and minimising the impact of any weaknesses.

Telephone Feedback

A thirty minute telephone discussion will provide your participants with a personalised summary of the assessment results. Telephone Feedback will not discuss the specific job role or the selection decision, but will focus on the individual’s results.
