Cage Rattler or Smooth Operator?
HBS Update on Psychometric Testing Services
 
 
Personality, Management Judgement, Graduate Potential and Ability Tests – from HBS Talentflow™
Whether you are trying to choose between the Cage Rattler or the Smooth Operator, make Gold from Base Metal, or simply De-Risk your Hiring processes, HBS Talentflow™ offers clients a wide range of tailored selection and development profiles and reports. We are now pleased to announce that the SHL OPQ test instrument has been completely revised and upgraded.
Candidates of all educational levels will find the OPQ 32R test very much more user friendly including the fact that it will take considerably less time – around 30 minutes. Following extensive research the new scoring methodology and simplified format that has been introduced provides greater precision and superior psychometric properties.
This helps further to underpin decision making in selection and maximise payback from development initiatives that include the use of psychometrics.
All information previously gathered is entirely comparable with the new outputs so that, in the event that you wished to utilise past tests in training and development initiatives, meaningful comparisons can be made.
Management Judgement and Graduate Potential
SHL Scenarios has been upgraded to now include separate reports appropriate for Executives, Managers and Graduates. Graduate Scenarios tests the potential of graduates and their level of management understanding relative to their lack of business experience. (Please contact us to discuss a trial Graduate Scenarios test).
Watson Glaser Critical Reasoning: Previously a paper and pencil based test, this is now available online. It still needs to be supervised but the online process allows for instant report back with a new set of narrative documents
Ability Tests
The SHL ‘Verify’ Verbal and Numerical tests are soon to be joined by ‘Checking’ and ‘Calculation’ tests for general staff testing.
We are also introducing the Rust Advanced Numerical Reasoning Appraisal. This test (RANRA) measures numerical skills which have clear relevance for managers and decision makers in organisations. Unlike many numerical reasoning tests, RANRA uses a format designed to assess higher level numerical skills involving deduction, interpretation and evaluation

For more information on the use of psychometrics in selection and development please contact Tim Hurst, HBS, e: tim@hbs-mc.com, t: 0207 3775225. Please also see our web site: www.talentflow.co.uk
