Psychometrics Embedded Within The Course

​Throughout the workshop, we use the Saville Assessment range of tools. 

Saville has the broadest range of tools designed for different levels of the organisation, and different purposes; recruitment and selection to development and ongoing performance, and are easily mapped to any competency framework by Level, with appropriate norm groups and language capability. 

The personality tools enjoy the highest Predictive Validity of up to .57 (BPS). 

Personality Psychometrics

All Saville personality tools are underpinned by the four-part Wave model; Solving Problems, Influencing People, Adapting Approaches and Delivering Results.

With a Predictive Validity of up to .57 the Saville Assessment personality range is THE most powerful personality tool on the market today for predicting behavior.

Due to the fact that each Competency (36) has 3 indicators overall (108), the framework provides certified users with ease of mapping to any competency framework. Assessments are available to take in English or Arabic, and are inclusive of international as well as GCC Norm Groups.

Furthermore, the Saville model allows certified users to map Behaviours, Cultural Fit, Talent, Risks & Motives. Certified users are also able to explain how the Candidate has rated themselves, their Consistency of Rankings, and their Ratings Acquiescence (how harsh or overly positive their ratings were of themselves)

​Ability Psychometrics

Cognitive Aptitude Tests gives us insight into a persons ‘Learning Agility’; their ability to process information and solve problems; in short, their potential.
​

• Cognitive aptitude refers to a person’s ability to process information, learn quickly, and apply new information to solve problems.
• Research suggests that cognitive aptitude is the single best predictor of job performance.
• The Saville aptitude tests are presented in two distinct levels of complexity; Comprehension and Analysis Aptitude.
• Again the tools are available in Arabic, with GCC Norm Groups
• They are presented as work-based scenarios which increases face-validity with participants, and include; Verbal, Numerical, Abstract Reasoning, Error Checking, Mechanical, Spatial and Diagrammatic Reasoning
