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.

Saville Consulting Wave & Prof. Peter Saville feature on BBC TV to discuss Leadership Assessment

Tuesday, November 30th, 2010

Saville Consulting Wave Personality Assessment Asia

Professor Peter Saville recently appeared on BBC TV to discuss the Saville Consulting Wave Psychometric Personality Assessment. The BBC’s Technology Correspondent, Rory Cellan-Jones underwent the Wave questionnaire and then received feedback from Professor Saville.

The Leadership Report discussed by Professor Saville is powered by Wave Professional Styles and based on Saville Consulting’s brand new Leadership Model. It has been validated both against theoretical leadership constructs and empirically using international workplace performance and effectiveness criterion data.

It combines styles, situations and underlying leadership potential to assess the impact of leadership on people, tasks and the growth of the organization as a whole. As it is based on the Wave model, the Leadership Report can also distinguish between motives and talents and highlights areas of potential over or under-rating.

The Leadership Report has a wide range of applications including in selection, succession planning, coaching or development and in assessing a leader’s fit to their environment.

PsyAsia International is offering a 15% discount on Saville Consulting Wave training for anybody who registers after viewing this video and before 15 December 2010. Use promotion code BBC when booking your place. The next courses will run in March 2011 in Singapore and Hong Kong.

Friday, February 19th, 2010

PsyAsia International has announced new dates for our Psychometric Assessment at Work Course in Singapore.
(Interested in attending this course in Hong Kong?  Check the next post!)

PsyAsia has been running this course in Singapore and Hong Kong since 2002 and has collected many impressive delegate reviews. We were the first company to bring regular public BPS Level A and B training to Singapore and today we retain the only resident facilitators for this training!

The course is run by a British Psychological Society award-winning resident and registered business psychologist with a PhD earned through work with validation of Psychometric Tests in Asia. For more details of the course and facilitator and to register online, please click here.

The Singapore Psychometric Assessment at Work course will run over the following dates:

In addition, delegates may choose to only attend 5 days of the course and instead to attend our online Test Administration Training (see above), removing the need for attendance on 12 May or 9 June.

Do men cheat more on internet selection tests?

Wednesday, November 18th, 2009

MEN are considered much more likely to cheat on internet selection tests than women, a Saville Consulting
survey reveals. The report, commissioned by work psychologists at Saville Consulting, questioned over a
thousand UK students. In this sample, 42% thought men were more likely to cheat than women, compared to just 9% who thought that females were more likely to cheat than males.

Internet selection tests measure a respondent’s abilities in certain areas to predict their likely level of performance at work. Tests typically measure verbal, numerical or logical skills. Many organisations use such tests as part of their recruitment process, but the vast majority of such tests can be completed by job applicants on their home computer, in an unsupervised manner.

Worryingly, 14% of students openly admitted to receiving help from others on such internet tests. Overall, respondents also revealed that they knew more men who had cheated on internet tests than women. When students who rated themselves as being of lower ability were compared to those who reported being of a higher level of ability, 58% more students of lower ability admitted to receiving help on internet tests.

Previous research commissioned by Saville Consulting indicated that personality and intelligence tests were actually seen by people as being more useful selection methods than job interviews. Eight out of ten students in the current survey confirmed that many people exaggerate on job application forms. Moreover, the same proportion of respondents agreed that if an organisation followed unsupervised tests with longer supervised tests prior to appointment, this was an effective method for preventing cheats from being selected.

These findings undermine the use of unsupervised tests without the re-testing of applicants
under supervised conditions. Organisations may not re-test applicants because they believe this
offers a more economical recruitment process. However, recruiting dishonest and less intelligent
workers will inevitably be counterproductive for an organisation’s effectiveness.

 

Professor Peter Saville, International Chairman of Saville Consulting, said:

 

“Following up applicants who complete online unsupervised tests with supervised tests of equal or greater rigour is arguably the most effective way to prevent candidate cheating. Other methods, such as randomising the order of questions or adapting questions to the ability of a candidate simply do not get around the problem of unsupervised cheating. If job applicants know that they are going to be retested in a properly supervised environment, this can do much to reduce the problem of cheating. The supervised test at the later stage also provides a safeguard that the successfully appointed applicant has the abilities to match the requirements of the role.”

 

Saville Consulting Oasys Online Psychometric System offered with training courses in Asia

Wednesday, October 21st, 2009

PsyAsia International is pleased to announce a special offer from Saville Consulting. For clients interested in attending our Saville Consulting Wave® Training in Singapore or Hong Kong and who are able to send 2 or more delegates from their organisation, Saville Consulting Asia Pacific are offering a complimentary Saville Oasys Online Psychometric Assessment System.

Oasys is a cutting-edge management system for the administration, scoring, reporting and interpretation of the world’s most revolutionary psychometric assessments. These include the Saville Consulting Wave®, the Saville Consulting Wave Focus, the newly released and revolutionary Saville Personality Profile, a full range of modern and innovative aptitude tests*, a job profiler for use prior to selection and a 360 performance appraisal. Use of the Oasys system cuts down on the costs of psychometric testing in organisations as clients have full control over their candidates and pay a system fee per report rather than paying us a higher bureau service fee. Oasys usually sells for SG$6000 or HK$30,000 so this is a very special offer. It is limited and will expire after the following training course dates and the system will then sell at the regular fee.

Saville Consulting Wave Psychometric Test Free Trial from PsyAsia

Monday, August 3rd, 2009

Saville Consulting Wave® Professional Styles measures motives, talents, preferred culture and competency potential in one dynamic online questionnaire. It is designed for use in both selection and development, transforming the assessment process with the sophisticated use of internet technology and powerful models of effectiveness in the workplace. This comprehensive global questionnaire measures the 4 clusters, 12 sections, 36 dimensions and 108 facets of the Wave hierarchical model. Average completion time is 40 minutes.

In a 2008 co-validation study, Wave Professional Styles, outperformed the OPQ32i, NEO-PI-R, Hogan Personality Inventory 16PF5 and 15FQ+ in predicting both work competencies and overall global measures of performance. Additionally the Wave outperformed tests that should not really be used in recruitment and selection, such as the MBTI and DiSC.
