A comprehensive and in-depth measure of mental capacity, this test battery has been designed to assess high level reasoning ability. It consists of three sections taking around 90 minutes in total to complete, which measure respectively: Verbal, Numerical and Abstract reasoning. It also includes a full Personality Profile plus Values and Motives Profile.

1. High-Level Abilities Analysis

Verbal Reasoning

Measures verbal fluency, vocabulary and the ability to understand and reason using words - appropriate for all jobs which require a high level of verbal ability (eg. senior sales and administrative positions, marketing and advertising positions, etc.).

Numerical Reasoning

Measures the ability to use and understand numerical concepts, to reason using numbers and perceive logical relationships between them. This test is appropriate for jobs which require a high level of verbal ability.

They are suitable for Candidates at graduate level, mid-management or above (eg. accountants and others in the financial services sector and for all positions which require dealing with financial and technical data).

Abstract Reasoning

Measures the ability to understand abstract logical problems and use new information outside the range of previous experience - appropriate for all jobs which require bringing logical analysis to bear in novel, intellectually demanding situations.

They are suitable for Candidates at graduate level, mid-management or above (eg. accountants, technical and scientific positions).

2. Personality Profile Questionnaire

A modern alternative to the 16PF, this questionnaire measures the fifteen personality dimensions assessed by Cattell's original questionnaire, with the exception of Factor B (intelligence) due to the difficulty in assessing mental ability using an un-timed test. This factor has been replaced with a more robust measure assessing an individual's level of confidence.

Designed to measure the 16PF personality factors more reliably and using up-to-date and occupationally sensitive items, the 15FQ is the ideal broad ranging personality assessment questionnaire. Building upon Cattell's pioneering research, the questionnaire has been developed to have all the advantages of the 16PF, yet avoid the problems of low reliability and face-validity associated with many of the 16PF scales.

Comprehensive Report

This Personality Profile includes a report on:

• Interpersonal Style
• Thinking Style
• Coping Style
• Team Role Behaviour & Preferences
• Leadership Style and Fit
• Subordinate Style and Fit
• Career (Occupational) Orientation
• Strengths and Development Areas
• Validity Measures
• Potential Strengths
• Potential Development Areas

3. Values & Motives Questionnaire

This is a normative self-report questionnaire which profiles the motivating forces that are likely to determine the amount of energy or effort that an individual is likely to expend in particular activities. When used as part of an assessment battery for selection, development, guidance and team-building it can assist in directing individuals into areas where they are likely to gain most satisfaction and make the greatest contribution.

What the Values and Motives Questionnaire Measures

The scales have been selected not only for their relevance to the workplace, but on the basis of a thorough review of those values which have been identified in previous research as being important determinants of behaviour in the work setting.

The questionnaire covers three broad areas: Personal, Interpersonal and Extrinsic. Personal values are those which could guide an individual's decisions in respect of everyday problems; Interpersonal values are those which influence an individual's approach to relationships; and Extrinsic motives are factors which effect behaviour in the workplace.

Cost: $495 + GST per Candidate tested.
