Psychometric Testing
Psychometric assessment provides an MOT of what goes on under the human bonnet. They can show the strengths and limitations within one person or compare one individual’s performance with other peoples.
Psychometric tests are a way of making hard-headed business decisions. They will increase your bottom line by decreasing staff turnover, identifying talent and creating a more efficient and productive organisation.

Psychometric testing looks at:
- Abilities: people's capacity to work with numbers, words, diagrams and systems
- Personality: how people are typically likely to act. This covers a huge range of aspects from people's motivations and values to how they react to authority and their honesty or integrity.
Mix and match these and you get dedicated tests for areas such as emotional intelligence, trainability, leadership, customer service orientation and how people think – areas that are directly related to particular jobs. Assess lots of people in your company and you can get an organisational profile: how well your teams work; what particular skills you lack; who’s going to fit in.
How are psychometric tests used?
- Recruit new staff
- Identify people with the potential to be promoted and developed
- Counsel staff who are under-performing
- Put teams together
- Coach senior managers
- Identify pressure points and areas of frustration within an organisation
- Decide on the best organisational structure
- Create incentive programmes that really motivate
- Contribute towards decisions about people individually or people in groups
Psychometric profiling can have a massive impact on all these areas.
Research shows that interviews, CVs, references and application forms are very bad at predicting whether people will succeed. Interviews are subjective because you are hugely influenced by your prejudices, likes and dislikes, sometimes without even realising it. If you think back, you’ll remember the great candidate who proved to be a complete disaster.
However, answers to a psychometric questionnaire should never be used in isolation - they provide only part of the picture. Interviews and other selection methods should be used alongside any assessment to build-up a 'complete' picture of each candidate.
Personal Profile Analysis
Our Personal Profile Analysis (PPA) provides an insight into how people behave at work answering questions such as – what are their strengths and limitations? Are they self starters? How do they communicate? What motivates them?
PPA has received a Certificate of Registration from the British Psychological Society (BPS) to confirm it meets all psychometric requirements for use as a psychological tool.
Why do you need personality profiles?
- Provide an accurate overview of your work behavioural preferences
- They give you the self awareness to consolidate your working strengths and compensate for your limitations
- Can be used to modify your communication style for greater effect
- Used to understand the impact your behavioural preferences have on your work colleagues
How will personality profiling help my business?
Whilst people remain the heart of a business it is their interaction with one another that can impede the flow of work and productivity. Personality clashes are a major cause of breakdown in team communication and good will.
Morgen HR’s Personal Profile Analysis enables people to become more aware of their work style. Only by improving their self awareness will they have the means to consolidate their working strengths and compensate for their behavioural limitations.

Research suggests that emotional intelligence accounts for as much as 31% of success in management contexts. An emotional intelligence test will enable you to measure this.
EI assessment is a predictor of performance, telling you how well people understand and manage their emotions, how well they interpret and deal with the emotions of others and how they use this knowledge to manage relationships. The Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire can add real value to your business in helping to coach, manage and develop more effective people.
What format does the Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire take?
The questionnaire comprises 153 questions ranked through seven options from ‘completely agree’ to ‘completely disagree’. It takes approximately 20-25 minutes to complete. There are no right or wrong answers, no bad scores, simply facets of emotion.
What information does the report give you?
The report gives a Global Intelligence Score, four further factors of broader relevance and 15 facets of behaviour.
Global Emotional Intelligence:
This is a snapshot of a person’s general emotional functioning. It is an index of someone’s perceived ability to understand, process and utilise emotion related information in everyday life.
