[QUOTE="trainee4u, post: 191957, member: 30779"] I received a reply from HSF: [I]We are not aware of any programming errors on our end related to the online assessment. Our assessments and reports have been designed by qualified psychologists who undertook a thorough job analysis and design process to create them. They have been piloted with our trainees and the resultant data has been statistically analysed too to meet our requirements. I appreciate that you find the report does not paint a full picture of yourself, but it is important to note that each skill is measured via multiple question types. An aggregate of these responses forms the scores, so answering different questions can contribute to specific skills even though it doesn't directly ask about conscientiousness for example. It is also worth noting is that these types of psychometric assessments are ‘norm-referenced’ which means that an applicant’s absolute scores are compared to a benchmark group and the absolute score is then converted to a relative score using this comparator. Narrative reports are therefore driven by someone’s relative standing within the comparison group so can be generic and is only there to guide the skills we're looking for in individuals and may not provide a specific outline of your skills in the report. The report is a direction of skills we are looking for and is generic for candidates answering questions similar to yourself. I hope this reassures you of the quality of our approach. [/I] My reading of "we are not aware" is "we haven't asked the question", but who knows? [/QUOTE]
