psychometrics- the process
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS?
When clients discuss their results, they often find key insights from the detailed and comprehensive information they receive.
They may find that there are many areas that they are comfortable with.
However, there may also be areas where they want to explore and understand more and, potentially adjust their behaviours. This can make them more effective in the workplace.
Some clients may decide to focus on getting to know colleagues better, become more organised, develop their leadership style or to seek solutions for emotional issues such as stress or anger.
Psychometrics are also a great way to assist with career decisions and get a clear sense of direction for the future.
They also help clients to understand differences between themselves and their colleagues.
WHY SHOULD I USE PSYCHOMETRIC ASSESSMENTS?
Psychometric testing, using a well-respected and validated tool is a great way to assist you with gaining personal insight.
It allows you to understand how your unique personality compares with others to help you potentially develop yourself and to manage relationships.
-
The NEO PI 3 inventory measures 36 fascinating areas of your personality and looks in-depth at your behaviours. It's a fantastic holistic tool for gaining insight.
-
MBTI is the most well-known and used psychometric in the world and can be useful for learning about yourself and how you work with others. I am trained to administer it at Step 2 so that you can have an in-depth knowledge of your type.
-
EQi looks at your emotional intelligence and can compare you with other leaders.
WHAT IS THE PROCESS?
All the assessments can be done online.
Questionnaires take between 30 and 40 minutes to complete.
We then book a time to discuss and interpret the report which could be face-to-face or online.
I recommend a session of an hour and a half for each psychometric tool undertaken.
Clients keep a copy of all reports for future reference.
WHEN SHOULD PSYCHOMETRIC ASSESSMENTS BE USED?
I use psychometric assessments for developmental purposes to support coaching.
CLIENT FEEDBACK ABOUT PSYCHOMETRICS
Psychometric feedback can be a powerful way to deepen self-awareness, leadership insight and professional effectiveness.
The feedback below reflects clients’ experience of working with tools such as NEO PI-3 and EQ-i, and how these insights have supported reflection, behaviour change and more effective performance at work.
Leadership insight and self-awareness
“The NEO assessment provided me with a unique insight into my personality. There were a few findings that surprised me and these enabled me to identify topics for deeper thought and focus moving forward. I have developed a greater awareness of my personal position in terms of career planning and finding the right path for me.”
“Since our meeting, I have reviewed the results and considered how I could improve this to become more effective in my role and in my personal life. Additionally I have noted how others could perceive this, to assess whether changing this would improve my effectiveness or not.”
“I have made changes which have helped me, for example setting aside time for myself and reminding myself that how I feel in certain instances need not be affected by my colleagues.”
