"We used to hire and promote on the basis of knowledge and skills, and fire on the basis of attitudes. Now we can focus on attitudes to make better decisions about hiring and promotion as well."

If people work in an environment which suits their personality and temperament and which also allows them to develop their skills, they will be much more effective – both individually and in teams. Psychometric testing is a powerful management tool that can identify individual characteristics and tendencies, to help with recruitment, promotion, succession planning, team building and personal development.

One of the ways that consulting engineering firms achieve competitive advantage is because their people demonstrate sound common sense, clear and assertive communication, good teamwork, robust managerial abilities and inspiring, enthusiastic leadership.

We use psychometric testing to bring clarity to complex inter-personal or management issues and we encourage our clients to use it alongside our more conventional consultancy, training and coaching services to help identify and develop these crucial inter-personal qualities.

We are pleased to offer access to a number of behavioural indicators and psychometric tools such as Belbin® Team Roles, Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® (MBTI), Strength Deployment Inventory® (SDI), and the Canadian tool TRIMA, each of which has its own particular strengths and applications.
