Personality
We have four personality assessment
tools:
Big Five Personality Questionnaire
(B5PQ). The B5PQ assesses twenty
dimensions of personality covering the five main domains
of personality which are known as the Big Five factors -
extraversion, agreeableness, openness to change,
conscientiousness and emotional stability.
Competency Potential
Questionnaire (CPQ). The CPQ draws on findings
from the Big Five factor model of personality and the
Great 8 framework of competencies. It has eight scales
covering cognitive ability, achievement motivation,
power motivation, extraversion, agreeableness,
conscientiousness, openness to experience, and emotional
stability.
Rapid
Emotional Quotient Indicator (REQI). The REQI assesses
the five main domains of personality and two dimensions
of emotional intelligence in seven scales covering
innovation, self-awareness, intuition, emotions,
motivation achievement, empathy and social skills.
Sport Personality Questionnaire (SPQ20).
The SPQ20 assesses athletes against 20 sport psychology
dimensions that measure an individual's mental mindset,
confidence and attitude. These cover six areas:
dynamism, motives and values, sociability, openness,
anxieties, and use of performance enhancement
techniques.
Leadership
We have three leadership assessment
instruments:
Leadership Potential Indicator
(LPI). The LPI assesses leadership potential
against twenty management and leadership competencies
covering four key leadership areas which are defined as
developing the vision, sharing the goals, gaining
support and delivering success.
Creative Leadership
Questionnaire (CLQ). The CLQ assesses
leadership level and style against twenty management and
leadership competencies covering five meta-competencies
which are defined as managing change, planning and
organising, interpersonal skills, results orientation
and leadership.
Transformational Leadership
Questionnaire (TLQ). The TLQ assesses eight
transformational leadership competencies defined as
empathy, feedback, achievement, commitment, performance,
empowerment, communication, and motivation.
Emotional
Intelligence
We have three emotional intelligence
assessment instruments:
Emotional Intelligence
Questionnaire (EIQ16). The EIQ16 assesses
sixteen emotional competencies covering Mayer and
Salovey's four key emotional ability areas of reading
people, using emotions, understanding emotions, and
managing emotions.
Emotional Competencies
Questionnaire (ECQ). The ECQ is a shorter
version of the EIQ16 based on a factor analysis of the
results from over 40,000 people who have completed the
EIQ16. It covers a person's overall emotional
competence/achievement and their skills in eight areas
of emotional intelligence.
Rapid Emotional Quotient
Indicator (REQI). The
REQI is based on Daniel Goleman's work and is designed
to give an indication of a person's overall EI, and a
general idea of how their personality and emotional
intelligence might be described.
Motivation
The Motivation Questionnaire (MQ) assesses
the critical elements of work that influence a person's motivation in a job. It measures twenty motivational
dimensions covering five global factors - drive, control,
challenge, relationships, and rewards.
Sales
We have two tests that measure selling
skills.
Sales Competencies Questionnaire
(SCQ). The SCQ assesses a person's selling
skills against 13 advanced sales competencies covering
156 selling skills. The SCQ is a normative instrument
designed to measure strengths and improvement areas
relative to other people.
Selling Skills Questionnaire
(SSQ). The SSQ assesses the same selling skills
as the SCQ but in an ipsative format. It compares a
person's selling skills in one area with their selling
skills in another area. It is self-referenced rather
than norm-referenced.
In high-stakes selection, these
two selling tests work well together.
Team
Roles
The Team Roles Questionnaire (TRQ)
assesses ten diverse team roles covering areas such
strategic thinking, project and quality management,
interpersonal roles such as negotiation, group working and
coaching, and newer skill areas such as ethical awareness.
The TRQ is a self-referenced ipsative tool that compares a
person's team role skills in one area with their team role
skills in another area.
Health
and Well-being Tests
We provide two assessments which test a
person's health and well-being:
Stress Assessment
Questionnaire (SAQ). The SAQ assesses seventeen
dimensions of stress covering possible sources of
stress, common symptoms, coping style, personality
factors, and impact on mental health.
Mood Change Questionnaire
(MCQ). The MCQ is a depression screening
instrument that assesses the five top warning signs of
depression, and nine dimensions of mood disorder
identified by the American Psychiatric Association.
Spiritual
Intelligence
We have two tests on spiritual
intelligence.
Spiritual Intelligence Questionnaire
(SPQ32). The SPQ32 assesses thirty two dimensions of spiritual and
emotional intelligence influencing how a person approaches
their work, communicates, relates to others, responds to
change, and develops their spiritual side.
Spiritual Quotient
Questionnaire (SQQ). The SQQ provides a single
overall assessment of how important religion is to a
person together with a description of their religious
beliefs and spiritual practices.
Personal
Relationships
We have two relationship assessment
instruments:
Relationship Diagnostic
Questionnaire (RDQ). The RDQ assesses one
partner's views and experience of the other partner's
attitudes and behaviour in a relationship. It has twelve
dimensions covering areas such as autonomy, commitment,
relatedness, responsibilities, communication, conflict
resolution, attraction, romance, and sex.
Dating Skills Questionnaire
(DSQ). The DSQ assesses attitudes towards
romantic relationships, personality characteristics that
affect dating behaviour, and specific sets of skills
relevant to success in forming romantic relationships.
Science of
Assessment
We have designed our tests to meet the
standards of a modern psychometric instrument. Our product
catalogue gives a technical summary of the features of
each test against the criteria set out by the European
Federation of Professional Psychologists Associations (www.efpa.be).
Our most important and popular tests
such as those covering personality, leadership and
emotional intelligence meet the key quality standards
set out in the EFPA Review Model. Test reliabilities are
adequate or good. Norms are based on large or very large
sample sizes. Correlations between scales and marker
variables, or between scales and criteria, are adequate
or good.
Table 1.
Median reliability and validity coefficients for key tests
Table 1 shows the median reliability
and validity coefficients for a number of our key
occupational tests. The reliability coefficient is
Coefficient Alpha. The validity coefficient for the
tests measuring personality, leadership, emotional
intelligence and competency potential is the median
correlation with job performance ratings. For the stress
questionnaire, the validity correlation is the median
correlation with the Holmes-Rahe Social Adjustment
Scale.
