Very easy. You will require some feedback from us to make sure you maximise the data we provide, but you don’t need a psychology degree or know much about psychometrics.

In the words of one of our clients:

“The most compelling reason to use Power Assessments International assessments is that it is so simple to implement. Our very diverse workforce can use the tool and the reports immediately. The language used throughout the process is not HR “jargon,” it is clear and easy to understand. Additionally, we do not have to go through any certification to use it, and it is completely scalable.”

Most of our assessments have ‘distortion’ scales’. The Distortion scale evaluates the consistency of the individual’s responses on the assessment. Too many inconsistent or statistically unusual responses can lead to an unacceptable rating and raise concern that the results may have been distorted and may not be truly representative of the individual. The Distortion scale refers to the reliability of the results, not the honesty of the person. Some examples include a difficulty reading the questions, an attempt to portray a picture of how they would like to be seen rather than an accurate picture of who they are, or a very casual and inconsistent approach to answering the questions. Any, or all, of these situations could affect the individual’s distortion results. The Distortion scale should not be used as a basis for disqualifying an individual.

Yes, we can. The Step One Survey is a brief pre-hire assessment that measures an individual’s basic work-related values. It is used primarily as a screening tool early in the candidate selection process. This assessment provides valid insight into an applicant’s work ethic, reliability, integrity, propensity for substance abuse, and attitudes toward theft—including property, data and time.
