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.

All attendees who remain for the entire session will receive a free pdf Certificate of Professional Development. Hard-copy certificates can also be requested for a fee.

Free Training in Psychometric Tests in Hong Kong & Singapore

Friday, March 26th, 2010
Free Psychometric Test Training in Singapore

PsychometricAssessment.com / PsyAsia International offer Free Psychometric Testing Course in Hong Kong & Singapore

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
Reliability in psychometric testing
Validity in psychometric testing
Error in psychometric testing
Review of different aptitude, personality and values tests on the market
Questions to ask your test publisher or distributor
What next?Note: During the workshop, delegates will create quasi-psychometric tests in groups to enable a hands-on exploration of issues such as reliability, error and validity in psychometric tests.
