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:
BPS Level A:
12-14 May 2010 or 9-11 June 2010
BPS Level B:
14-16 June 2010
Psychometric Test Administration only:
12 May or 9 June / or Live Online Training 30 March-01 April 5pm-6.20pm each day.
The dates are arranged as above to enable our delegates to choose whether to complete the whole course at once (9-11 June and 14-16 June) or to complete Level A first, then have a break before moving on to Level B (12-14 May and then 14-16 June). 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. Delegates will still need to be prepared to be assessed on Test Admin and Test Scoring once they attend! Please contact us before registering if you wish to choose this option.
Note: our March 2010 course in Singapore was fully booked (and in fact oversubscribed with a waiting list) 3 weeks before the course. Please ensure therefore that you register early. Early registration has additional benefits which include full access to this course’s area of our innovative online learning center where you can download training videos/courses, interact with other delegates, join in the forum and online chat and benefit from optional online live training with your facilitator even before the face-to-face training commences!
The day immediately following Level B is conversion training for the Saville Consulting Wave®. Level B delegates may register for this training at 50% off the regular fee by selecting that option during the booking process. In addition, anybody who registers for our BPS Level A/B Training before March 18 can join any other PsyAsia course at a 30% discount off the regular fee – please contact us for a special discount code if you wish to use this offer!

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.”

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.
To avail of the offer, please register at least 2 people from the same organisation for one of the following courses at http://www.psyasia.com/register

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.
For users, this higher validity enables:
- better predictions of performance
- a stronger return on investment
- accurate identification and management of talent
- highly targeted coaching
- the development of a performance culture throughout an organization
For details of the scientific validation study, please click here.
We are pleased to offer a free trial of the Saville Wave Focus Styles Questionnaire to the major HR decision-maker in Asian organisations. The trial is open until 15 August and to the first 100 applicants. Please send your full details to our Psychometrics Team by clicking here. Please provide the following:
Your full name:
Your corporate email address (free email accounts such as yahoo, gmail etc. not accepted):
Your job title:
Your company name:
Your location:
Kindly note that requests for trials from non-decision makers, those not based in Asia, those who provide inaccurate, fake date or non-corporate email addresses or those whose organisations have previously trialled the Wave will not be entertained. Thank you for your understanding.
