Intelligence assessment in personnel selection: When is it really necessary?

Intelligence assessment is one of the most debated tools in human resources. Some consider it indispensable, while others see it as a rigid and decontextualised screening method.

Psychometric test for employment: how to interpret results without making mistakes

A psychometric employment assessment is not a definitive judgment about a candidate. It is a measurement tool. And like any tool, its value depends on how it is used. The most common mistake in the hiring process is interpreting assessment scores as absolute filters. A low score in one dimension does not automatically mean a candidate is unqualified.
