Psychometric Assessments

MCPA is an acronym for ‘Modified Career Path Appreciation’. This assessment is an opportunity to explore your experience of, and approach to, work. You are also provided with an opportunity to reflect on your career, your aspirations and the type of work that you find challenging and stimulating (as well as those elements of work that frustrate and unnerve you!).

LPA is an acronym for ‘Linked Personal Appreciation’. It measures your styles and strengths in each of 29 dimensions considered to be core to effective team and managerial functioning. Full feedback will be given to you on your assessment results. An optional discussion will cover helpful areas such as how to develop certain areas, and where to focus career goals in order to make the most of your strengths.

ECP is an acronym for ‘Elite Cognitive Profile’. It measures cognitive ability, which is a valid predictor of job performance, learning ability and training success, across most, if not all, jobs. The Elite Cognitive Profile helps individuals and employers accurately test a candidate’s level of general cognitive (intellectual) ability. More specifically, the test measures the individual’s potential to be trained, to effectively and efficiently solve problems, to communicate clearly and to comprehend complex relationships between variables in decision-making.

‘ELDI’ is a powerful, research-based 360 degree performance assessment, which uses the ELDIQ™ questionnaire to take candidates through 119 items in about 45 minutes. The ELDI™ draws on the observations of a candidate’s superiors, peers, and reports, as well as self-assessment to create a rich mosaic of a candidate’s potential for thinking and managing at senior levels.

The ELDI™ assesses 16 competencies which have been found to be critical to high level leadership and management effectiveness. Comparing superiors’, peers’ and reports’ views of a candidate on these competencies with the candidate’s view of himself or herself, will show clearly if the candidate has any blind spots, and if so, how significant these may be.

‘PDA’ is a behavioural assessment which allows you to discover and profile your behavioural characteristics. It also allows you to evaluate the behavioural and competency requirements of a job, so that a comparison can be made about your ‘fit’ for that job.

‘EPP’ stands for Elite Personality Profile. This assessment measures ten personality dimensions which are generally perceived to be important for a wide range of occupations. The assessment results offer detailed insights into an individual’s personality and potential job fit.

‘WRSP’ stands for Workplace Readiness Skills Profile. This talent assessment measures ten specific skills and behavioural dimensions required of any job. The assessment is especially helpful for organisations who want to make sure they are hiring/promoting someone with a fitting set of talent attributes, applicable to the job in hand.
