Psychometric Testing Webinar: Saville Consulting Wave Personality Assessment

Monday, April 4th, 2011
Saville-webinar-ad

In this complimentary webinar, PsyAsia International’s registered business psychologist will review aspects of the Saville Consulting Wave. The Wave is the 21st Century’s Revolution in Personality Assessment. It was developed by the best known name in modern Psychometrics, Professor Peter Saville. Independent, comparative research has shown that the validity of the Wave surpasses that usually expected of personality tests and that the tool beats its competitors in predicting performance and leadership at work. In fact, Wave has been so influential that its nearest rival felt the need to revisit their own personality test and to use the term revolution too in their update. However, it turned out to be a revamping rather than a revolution!! So, what makes the Wave such a fantastic tool. Why has Saville Consulting grown so fast over the past few years from nothing to representation in over 60 countries and a move to a larger office to house their growing team?

 This webinar will take attendees through the revolutionary characteristics of the Wave in an accessible way. You’ll also get to see the validity study results. After attending the webinar, you’ll understand why the Saville Consulting Wave has been so well received and why it has changed the status quo in psychometric personality testing that has existed since the 1980s.

The complimentary webinar is open to all HR and related professionals in Asia who provide truthful data and a corporate email address when registering. It is not open to competitors. The webinar runs on 26 April 2011 at 12pm Singapore/Hong Kong time.

Indigenous psychometric tests – Do they predict performance?

Sunday, August 1st, 2010

It’s perhaps quite natural to believe that the Chinese personality is so different to others that it requires a special psychometric test to assess it. What better way to sell your new Chinese personality test than to state that it is “high time a test for the Chinese” were developed. However, this throws doubt upon the utility of rigorously developed international psychometric tests of personality.

Given the above, we embarked on a research program to assess whether Chinese people differ significantly comparied to others in terms of personality structure and whether personality tests that purport to assess Chinese Personality are able to predict any more work performance than internationally developed tests have already been proven to do!

You can read our research findings it: personality.cn, our Chinese Personality at Work Research Site.

No time to read the whole site? Here’s a quick summary:

Locally developed psychometric tests which purport to assess “indigenous” aspects of Chinese Personality were found to be less reliable than reputable internationally developed tests of personality. Furthermore, there is a big question as to whether so-called “indigenous” traits are Chinese-specific. Issues such as traditionalism or face also exist in other cultures! Moreover, the research has demonstrated that whatever we choose to believe about Chinese Personality, locally developed (Hong Kong) tests of “indigenous” personality add nothing to the prediction of performance at work that is not already accounted for by reputable internationally developed personality tests.

 We present this research in a free HRM webinar which you can watch here. We held a vote at the beginning and end of our webinar whereby we asked attendees if they believed that Chinese Personality is so different that Chinese people need their own personality test. At the beginning of the webinar, the majority of the attendees said yes! By the end of the webinar only one attendee still believed this to be the case!  We recommend choosing well designed psychometric tests with high reliability and validity. Personality is a universal construct, thus locally developed tests may have little benefit to the hiring manager!

HRM Webinar: How Chinese are the Chinese? A look at Personality Tests for the China

Wednesday, May 19th, 2010
  Join us for a Webinar on June 22
 
 
   
 
 
This is a FREE webinar in PsyAsia’s HRM themed webinar series. In this session we are pleased to present research on and answer questions about whether or not Chinese people are significantly different to other major groups and whether any potential differences are likely to impact upon the ability of personality tests to predict performance at work.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 “in Chinese for the Chinese by the Chinese”.  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?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’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.

As always, the webinar is open to all HR and related professionals in our region. It is not open to competitors. You must provide your corporate email address when registering – we do not approve free email accounts such as yahoo/google/hotmail/rediffmail etc.

Introduction to Psychometric Testing Course: Hong Kong, 4 May 2010; Singapore, 11 May 2010

PsyAsia International is Asia’s independent Leader in Psychometric Test products and Training. We choose to distribute only the world’s best, most validated psychometric assessments and offer locally relevant, world-class training in psychometrics. The Introduction to Psychometrics Workshop expands on PsyAsia’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’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.

This one-day course aims to provide experienced-based training in an accessible and economical way. The course is easy to understand and yet covers many of the important issues to be aware of when choosing and using psychometric tests. Given our passion for Asia and our passion for the competent use of psychometric tests in Asia, PsyAsia makes no profit on this course. We charge delegates a small fee that reflects the cost of the hotel venue (including buffet lunch and refreshments) where the training is held as well as materials that we provide to the delegates. What’s more, if you later decide to attend one of our accreditation courses in Psychometrics, we will issue you with a discount code that reduces your course fee by the amount you paid for this course!

 
  The history of psychometric testing
Comparison of psychometric tests with other modes of employee testing and assessment
The benefit of using psychometric tests in recruitment/selection, development and coaching
