<p>Identity is a self-perception personality<br />
questionnaire that measures important individual differences<br />
between how people prefer to behave in a workplace setting.<br />
It was developed specifically for the world of work<br />
and is supported by robust research proving its effectiveness<br />
for use in many areas of business and personal development.<br />
The questionnaire is available in <strong>English, simplified<br />
Chinese and traditional Chinese</strong>.</p>
<p>Developed to be the most comprehensive personality assessment<br />
tool, Identity measures 36 Primary Scales – which<br />
are specific areas of personality related to the world<br />
of work. It is fully validated for making sensitive<br />
selection decisions and <strong>found through scientific<br />
research to be more predictive of leadership performance<br />
than even ability tests or interviews</strong>.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.psyasia.com/images/cover.jpg" border="1" alt="Identity Cover" width="210" height="307" /></p>
<p><strong>Sample Cover Page</strong></p>
<p>The PsyAsia logo can be replaced with your corporate<br />
logo if you have your own Identity System. Also note<br />
the PTC logo that confirms <strong>Identity is a quality<br />
test registered with the British Psychological Society<br />
Psychological Testing Centre</strong>.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.psyasia.com/images/narrative.jpg" border="1" alt="Narrative Report" width="242" height="287" /></p>
<p><strong>Narrative Report</strong></p>
<p>This report is written in second or third person depending<br />
on whether you are using it as a feedback report for<br />
the candidate or for the decision-maker. Text-based<br />
narrative reports are the only type of report available<br />
to untrained users. All other reports/graphics require<br />
a certification.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.psyasia.com/images/quick-look.jpg" border="1" alt="Response Style Summary" width="174" height="237" /></p>
<p><strong>Quick Look Page</strong></p>
<p>This gives an indication as to the accuracy of the candidate&#8217;s<br />
responses and shows you where you need to focus for<br />
additional probing in an interview. For this fake candidate,<br />
the report tells us we need to probe on every competency!<br />
For other candidates you may see &#8220;Strong&#8221;<br />
and/or &#8220;OK&#8221; in place of &#8220;Further Probing&#8221;.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.psyasia.com/images/scales.jpg" border="1" alt="Profile Chart" width="186" height="290" /></p>
<p><strong>Profile Chart</strong></p>
<p>This is the first page of a 2-page chart which provides<br />
the candidate&#8217;s score for each scale in Identity. Labels<br />
and descriptions on either side assist in accurate interpretation<br />
of each scale score.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.psyasia.com/images/interview-report.jpg" border="1" alt="Pre-Interview Report" width="216" height="243" /></p>
<p><strong>Pre-Interview Report</strong></p>
<p>This is a sample page from Identity&#8217;s Pre-Interview<br />
Report. Personality test reports should be followed<br />
up with a good behavioral interview. This report assists<br />
in this process by providing example questions to ask<br />
the candidate based on their profile.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.psyasia.com/images/jungian-type.jpg" alt="Alternative Assessment to the MBTI for Assessing Jungian Type" /><br />
<img src="http://www.psyasia.com/images/learning-style-preference.jpg" alt="Learning Styles Assessment" /></p>
<p><strong>Derived scales</strong></p>
<p>Assess aspects of the person such as Jungian Type, Learning<br />
Styles, EQ, Team Roles, Leadership Style and so on.<br />
All of these charts come at no additional cost.</p>
<p>The above are just a few examples of<br />
pages from Identity reports. Identity offers a number<br />
of different reports: Pre-Interview, Comprehensive,<br />
Career Focus and Candidate Feedback. Unlike other psychometric<br />
personality tests, clients only pay once for the candidate<br />
rather than for each report generated.</p>

<p><strong>In this session we will explore the following:</strong></p>
<p>1. Computer-based scoring of psychometric tests<br />
2. Hand-scoring of psychometric tests<br />
3. Norming of test results<br />
4. The link between scoring of tests and reliability</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Converting raw scores to standardised scores and using representative norms will be covered in a later session</span>.</p>
<p>Once a psychometric test has been properly administered, it needs to be scored.  Depending on the test chosen, you may have a few options. </p>
<p>a. You can opt for <strong>computer-based scoring</strong>.</p>
<p>This would work if you had administered the test using computer software or if you had asked your candidate to complete an online test. For online tests, this option is good because it is less likely to involve scoring errors! Your candidate completes the test online and then the system immediately and automatically scores the test. There is no additional input required and hence less chance for error. This pre-supposes the publisher has used the correct scoring algorithms of course. Whilst most reputable test publishers will, we do know of one who had an error in a test battery that was not spotted until one of their distributors pointed out that his partner had done poorly on a test for which she was a subject matter expert!!</p>
<p>If you administer the test to your candidate using desktop software, you should be able to automatically score it in the same way as above. </p>
<p>b. You can opt for <strong>hand-scoring</strong> or a <strong>bureau service</strong> or <strong>keyed input followed by computer-scoring</strong>. You are most likely to use this option if you administered the test to your candidate using hard-copy test booklets and answer sheets. </p>
<p>Firstly, you&#8217;ll need to double-check the answer sheets to ensure that there are no irregularities. Ensure that it&#8217;s obvious which answer the respondent selected. Be careful with any &#8220;blobs&#8221; that may have appeared from ink or pencil smudges etc.  If a respondent has changed their mind after selecting a response and has crossed it out, ensure that you only use the most recent response in scoring. </p>
<p>For <strong>hand-scoring using a scoring key</strong>, you&#8217;ll next need to align the scoring key with the answer sheet. The exact requirements will vary based on the test you are using, so ensure that you read and fully understand the instructions provided by the test publisher. </p>
<p>Once you have scored the responses, double-check your scoring. You then need to record the score. The score you calculate at this point is called the <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">RAW SCORE</span></strong>.  On its own, a raw score means nothing. If I tell you that you scored 54 on a numerical reasoning test or 75 on the extraversion scale of a personality assessment, you&#8217;ll need to ask me more questions before you truly understand your score. The most important question to ask would be how your score compared to others.  The comparison of your score with others is called <strong>norming</strong>. </p>
<p>It is called norming because we compare a candidate&#8217;s score to a group of others (called the<strong> norm group</strong>) who completed the test in the past.  To undertake this comparison, you can do it by way of a simple calculation or through the use of norm tables either developed by yourself or, more usually, supplied by the test publisher.</p>
<p>Norm tables allow us to use a standard vocabulary for expressing a candidate&#8217;s score in relation to others who have taken the test and it is for this reason that we call your new score a <strong>standardised score</strong>.  A standardised score is simply your candidate&#8217;s raw score, compared with the norm group and expressed in terms of how the candidate scored in relation to others.  We&#8217;ll consider standardised scores in more detail in a later lesson.  You&#8217;ll see by now that your objective is to calculate the candidate&#8217;s standard score as this is the way to achieve maximum meaning.  If you opt for paper and pencil tests and hand-scoring, the process can be lengthy. So are there other options?</p>
<p>We have already seen above that we can simply have the candidate complete an online test. However, you may not wish to do this if there are many candidates.  This is because you will need as many computers as candidates if you are going to supervise them.  If you are using an unsupervised test, the candidate can complete on their own PC, but you may be concerned about possible cheating and so on.  This is why you may end up using paper and pencil tests (in a supervised environment).  However, there is an alternative to arduous hand-scoring if you have used paper and pencil tests. </p>
<p>You can use the <strong>bureau service</strong> of your psychometric test distributor. You just need to check that the answer sheet is properly completed, clear and free from any irregularities and then send the answer sheet to the distributor by fax or scanned email.  The bureau service will then score the test for you and send you a report. </p>
<p>Furthermore, you may have another option yet.  If you have access to a computer or online test system, you can probably also <strong>enter the candidate&#8217;s responses to each question into the system</strong> and have the system produce the report. This is essentially what the bureau service above does for you.  Doing it yourself should work out cheaper.  Do be careful when you transpose the responses though &#8211; <span style="text-decoration: underline;">accuracy is far more important than speed</span> unless you want to invalidate the whole process!!</p>
<p><strong>Self-scoring answer sheets</strong>: Some psychometric tests are supplied with self-scoring answer sheets. These are much easier to use than non-self-scoring answer sheets. In this case you usually need to open up the answer sheet by tearing off some perforated card. Inside the answer sheet, the candidate&#8217;s responses will have been duplicated via carbon or similar onto a scoring card. Usually, you add up the number of responses (often black circles) that appear inside a circle. Those outside of a circle represent incorrect answers so don&#8217;t get counted. Once you&#8217;ve added up correct responses, you have your raw score.  Slightly different procedures obviously apply for personality assessments and fewer personality assessments provide self-scoring answer sheets due to their scoring complexity.  <span style="text-decoration: underline;">When using self-scoring answer sheets you need to be especially careful to ensure that the candidate presses hard on the answer sheet</span> when completing the test. If they are light-handed their responses may not come through onto the scoring card!</p>
<p>Finally, let&#8217;s consider the <strong>link between psychometric test scoring and reliability/validity</strong>.  As you know, the test administrator can have a huge impact upon psychometric test reliability throughout the whole process. At the scoring stage you can affect reliability simply by scoring incorrectly. This might happen because you miss the fact that a candidate crossed out their answer and changed their mind. It may also happen because you try to score fast and just don&#8217;t add up correctly.  Perhaps you use the scoring key incorrectly or perhaps the scoring is so arduous (often the case for personality assessments) that you simply get lost in the scoring or incorrectly use your calculator! </p>
<p>Ensure therefore that you fully understand how to score the test, use the scoring key as per the publisher&#8217;s instructions, score slowly and double check or have someone else double check your scoring. If possible, use computer based scoring or self-scoring answer sheets. Incorrect scoring reduces reliability and of course that means that a valid test can become invalid and a waste of time or money!</p>

<h5>In this session we will explore the following:</h5>
<p>1. The relationship between reliability and validity in psychometric assessment<br />
2. How psychometric test administrators can impact the reliability of tests</p>
<h3>Psychometric Test Reliability</h3>
<p>When choosing a reputable test, whether it be aptitude or personality, one of the properties of the test you will need to look for is <strong>reliability</strong>. We&#8217;ll consider reliability in appropriate detail in a later section of the course.  For now, think of reliability as <span style="text-decoration: underline;">consistency</span>.  In order to have absolute confidence in our test scores we need them to be consistent.  However, we can&#8217;t test and retest our candidates in the real world. Despite this, reputable test publishers would already have done this for you. This would have been carried out under optimal conditions.  So, now you know that you are using a reliable test (one that produces consistent scores), <strong>it&#8217;s your task as the test administrator to ensure that the test remains a reliable test</strong>.</p>
<h3>Why is reliability so important?</h3>
<p>Whenever you assess something, you expect the score you get to be reliable. For example, if you assess your weight using bathroom scales, you expect the reading you get to be consistent across at least the short term. If you weigh yourself over 2 consecutive days and get significantly different readings you know something is wrong with the scales!  The same is true of psychometric tests. The publisher first ensures that the test scores will be consistent over time and then you, as the administrator, need to ensure that your actions do not make the test less reliable.</p>
<p>Not only do we want and expect test results to remain reliable over time, but we also know that reliability is a precursor to <strong>validity</strong>. It sets an upper limit on the test&#8217;s validity. In other words, if your test is not reliable then it is not valid. Confusing?  Let&#8217;s use the weighing scales example again&#8230;</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s suppose a medical doctor does some research which shows that those who weight more than 120kg are significantly more likely to suffer a heart attack.  His research shows that weight is a valid indicator for predicting the heart attack.  The scales are fit for the purpose of predicting a heart attack.  <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Validity is all about being fit for purpose</span>.  Now if those scales are not reliable, they will provide inconsistent data over the time of the research program.  In this case would you have confidence in the doctor&#8217;s findings? Of course not!</p>
<p>So, to apply this to psychometric tests let&#8217;s take an aptitude test. We&#8217;ve carried out research which confirms that a new numerical reasoning test can predict the performance of accountants. Those who score better on the test are rated as better accountants.  This is validity. The test is fit for the purpose of predicting accountant performance.  You will hopefully have full confidence in this finding if you know the test is reliable.  If however you expect the test is coming up with inconsistent scores for your candidates, it is unreliable, and, as in the scales example above, you will not have confidence in the test&#8217;s prediction of accountant performance. This is why reliability is a precursor to validity.</p>
<p>And why is all of this so important for this course?  It&#8217;s because you as the test administrator can enhance or reduce the reliability of the test by how you administer it in the first place.  Let&#8217;s now take a look at what factors you can and can&#8217;t influence in terms of reliability.</p>
<h3>How psychometric test administrators can impact the reliability of tests</h3>
<div id="attachment_573" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://psyasia.com/psychometric-test-blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/factors-affecting-psychometric-test-reliability1.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-573" title="Factors Affecting Psychometric Test Reliability" src="http://psyasia.com/psychometric-test-blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/factors-affecting-psychometric-test-reliability1-300x170.jpg" alt="factors affecting psychometric test reliability" width="300" height="170" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Factors Affecting Psychometric Test Reliability (C)2010 PsyAsia International: No Copying</p></div>
<p>Take a look at the graphic on the left. It shows different factors which can impact the reliability of psychometric tests. This applies to both aptitude tests and personality assessments.</p>
<p><strong>Factors within the test</strong></p>
<p>Generally, a test administrator is not responsible for this. The test publisher must design tests that will be highly reliable. Factors within the test means that the questions chosen must be accessible to all groups for whom the test is intended. If a subsection finds some questions difficult based on their group membership (i.e. non-native-English speaking groups may not understand a colloquialism used in a test question), then the test will be less reliable for that group. Although the publisher needs to ensure a reliable test, not all test publishers are reputable or know what they are doing! This is why the person who purchases the test needs to know how to evaluate it. We&#8217;ll show you later how to evaluate the test in greater detail.  Know for now that <strong>you do not evaluate a test or validate it by trialling it on yourself or your colleague</strong> as many untrained users think!</p>
<p><strong>Factors within the respondent</strong></p>
<p>Whilst the test administrator cannot control all the possible factors within a respondent, you can do your best to ensure you control for a much as possible.  It&#8217;s a good idea to think here about how you would like to be treated if you were undergoing a psychometric assessment for the first time. You&#8217;d probably like a friendly invitation letter explaining what is going to happen and why. You&#8217;d like to know that your data and results will remain confidential and only shared with decision-makers and only for the purpose that you&#8217;re undertaking the test. You&#8217;d also like to know what you need to bring with you and if possible, a few example questions as approved by the test publisher might help to set your mind at rest.  Finally it would be good to have a number to call should you have any special needs that you wish to convey to the administrators before the day.  So, when you arrive at the test centre you already know what is going to happen and why, you won&#8217;t be overly concerned, you&#8217;ll have all the right things with you (e.g., reading glasses) and you&#8217;ll know how long the session is going to last. If it&#8217;s a personality test you&#8217;ll be more likely to be open and honest because you know your results won&#8217;t go further than the selection or development committee and won&#8217;t be used for reasons beyond the reason you&#8217;ve already been given.</p>
<p>Ultimately here you are attempting to control for mood and expectations. Ideally you don&#8217;t want these to vary between candidates in order to give everybody the same start line.  On the actual day of the test you will go over all of these things again with the candidates in the room to ensure that they are all clear on what will happen and why.  Again, this sets the scene and mood, demonstrates your organisation&#8217;s &#8220;humanness&#8221; in the assessment process and provides candidates with an opportunity to ask questions.  Furthermore, on the day you will need to ensure that you administer the test instructions word for word and then administer the test exactly as intended by the test publisher. Doing all of this enhances consistency and thus increases reliability.  This is essential as we saw before because reliability is the precursor to validity.</p>
<p><strong>Factors within the environment</strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-weight: normal;">How well would you be able to complete an aptitude test in a noisy room?  Or how about  room that&#8217;s freezing from too much air conditioning or too hot due to broken air conditioning?  Likewise, you need to ensure that the test environment is conducive to candidate performance each and every time.  This applies to personality assessment too. Although there is no right or wrong, your candidate will certainly feel more able to make an effort and respond accurately if you provide them with the right environment!  So, some time before the session you&#8217;ll need to check the room, make sure temperature controls work. On the day, switch them on in good time before the test so that by the time candidates arrive the room is just right.  Place a sign on the door to ensure you are not disturbed during the testing session and be sure to silence all phones in the room.  Candidates should of course have phones switched off too.  Ensure that once the session is over, all candidates leave at the same time so that they do not disturb others.  If a candidate really must make a restroom visit, they should be accompanied by an administrator and only one candidate at a time should go. Ensure that upon leaving and rejoining the room the candidate does not disturb others.<br />
(Note: also a good idea to check there is no planned construction nearby and there are no fire drills scheduled on the day of testing. Do this before sending out your invitation to the candidate!) </span></strong></p>
<h3>Summary</h3>
<p><strong><span style="font-weight: normal;">By referring to these guidelines you&#8217;ll help to ensure that psychometric tests used by your organisation remain as reliable as the publisher intends them to be. By using short-cuts and not following the guidelines you&#8217;ll threaten the reliability and therefore the validity of the tests.  If you threaten a test&#8217;s validity it becomes unfit for purpose which means your company is wasting its money buying psychometric tools!</span></strong></p>

<p><strong>FREE HRM WEBINAR</strong></p>
<p>PsyAsia International is pleased to announce the next webinar in our series of professional HR webinars. This time we will be discussing the topic of Chinese Personality and performance at work.</p>
<p>Some HR people in Asia believe that culture plays such a significant role in personality that indigenous personality attributes need to be assessed at recruitment/selection. To this end, personality tests have been developed &#8220;in Chinese for the Chinese by the Chinese&#8221;. A significant question to ask is: Do these tests add any prediction over and above that afforded by mainstream personality tests developed by world renowned experts in the field?</p>
<p>The above questions will be answered through discussion of the trait model of personality and its biological basis. Peer-reviewed and published research conducted by PsyAsia International&#8217;s award-winning Psychologist, Dr. Graham Tyler; award-winning Dr. Peter Newcombe of the University of Queensland; and world-renowned Professor Paul Barrett, formerly of the University of Auckland will be presented in an easy to understand format.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[The Saville Consulting Wave was developed by the originator of the OPQ and co-founder of SHL, Professor Peter Saville as an alternative to the static assessments available in the market. Wave assesses candidate's motives and talents within a validation-centric framework. It was validated within 100 separate businesses.

The tool uses both normative and dynamic ipsative questions and has been shown to have greater validity in predicting performance and leadership than any tool it has been compared to in research. Furthermore, the shorter version of Wave, the Focus Questionnaire has more validity per 15 minutes of test-taking time than any comparison questionnaire.]]></description>

<p><img src="http://www.psyasia.com/images/newsimages/epsom.gif" border="0" alt="Wave - The Most Predictive Personality Assessment" width="192" height="144" align="right" />The Saville Consulting Wave was developed by the originator of the OPQ and co-founder of SHL, Professor Peter Saville as an alternative to the static assessments available in the market. Wave assesses candidate&#8217;s motives and talents within a validation-centric framework. It was validated within 100 separate businesses.</p>
<p>The tool uses both normative and dynamic ipsative questions and has been shown to have greater validity in predicting performance and leadership than any tool it has been compared to in research. Furthermore, the shorter version of Wave, the Focus Questionnaire has more validity per 15 minutes of test-taking time than any comparison questionnaire.</p>
<p><span class="title" style="font-size: 24px; font-weight: bold; color: #25acd8; font-family: Arial; line-height: 110%; margin: 20px 0 5px 0;">Profile jobs, run 360 performance appraisal, assess personality type for team-building, assess entrepreneurial potential and provide extensive development advice all within one framework</span></p>
<p>The performance culture framework which underlies the Saville Consulting Wave allows the tool to be used extensively for different HR applications from recruitment/selection through to performance appraisal and development.<br />

<p>PsyAsia International is Asia&#8217;s independent Leader in Psychometric Test products and Training. We choose to distribute only the world&#8217;s best, most validated psychometric assessments and offer locally relevant, world-class training in psychometrics. The Introduction to Psychometrics Workshop expands on PsyAsia&#8217;s expertise in Psychometric Training in Asia by offering a course geared to those with very little experience or understanding in Psychometrics. Many first time clients don&#8217;t understand why they need to be careful in their choice or use of psychometrics and many do not understand why training is a necessity in competent test use.</p>
