What W&M psychologists deploy assessment for
Assessment within the 3 W&M pillars (process).
What is an assessment
The word assessment literally means balance; control of knowledge; consideration; appreciation; determination.
W & M psychologists sees an assessment as a critical consideration which includes psychometric tests that give candidates and possibly the organization insight into the abilities and talents of a person. It is a personal assessment that we enter jointly. If desired, it can seamlessly be connected into training, career counselling, coaching, etc. We are happy to provide tailor-made solutions.
Test procedure en instrumentarium
The composition of an assessment depends on the question but usually consists of the following components;
- Personal or telephone intake organization
- Personal or telephone intake candidate (option: skype, etc for foreign candidates)
- (Online) assessment consisting of personality, motivation, capacities (read: intelligence) tests. Additional test parts are possible and depend on the question
- Specific (group) skills tests and work simulations (read: role play with actor/actress)
- One or more interviews with the psychologist (option: skype, etc for foreign candidates)
- Report including development advice
- Feedback to the organization (possibly together with the candidate)
- Additional options are 360 degrees feedback, SJT’s (Situational Judgement Tests) & gaming
A candidate is guided and prepared for the assessment during the intake interview. In addition, the candidate is given the opportunity to practice (online).
Before contacting the candidate, the assessment profile is set up taking in account the greatest possible objectivity, validity and reliability. We have a well-developed profile database and continue to further improve. The function & competence profile set up is done in co-creation with the client organization.
