-At the current time, in order to receive a hard-copy certificate of competence from us, you must complete and pass an advanced quiz and then send us a video recording of you (a) running a test session (b) scoring at least 3 psychometric tests. There is an additional examination fee for this option. You will then be eligible to apply to the British Psychological Society for their Level 1 RQTU Certification (Test Administration). Please contact us to request this option.
-Complimentary soft copy certificates of attendance will be emailed to those who watch each video and pass the basic quiz.Who is the recorded session best for?
The recorded session is the solution for those who are not able to attend our live session or if a live session is not currently scheduled. It is also advantageous for those wishing to save some money as it is cheaper than the live session. On the other hand, you won't be able to ask questions of the trainer and will not benefit from the interactivity of a group of co-delegates logging in at the same time as you to learn, discuss and present to each other.Other options:
- Attend a LIVE online training session. Contact us to request details of the next session.
- Enrol in the interactive on-demand self-study course in psychometric test administration (coming soon).
- Attend our face-to-face psychometric test administration training in Singapore or Hong Kong.
Course Fee:
US$249
Plus optional US$150 for assessment for the BPS Level 1 Certificate. Successful delegates then need to pay the BPS their own certification fee.

Dr. Graham Tyler presented a webinar on Chinese Personality.
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.
Questions from attendees along with the answers given by the presenter can be heard in this webinar recording. Please watch free of charge here.

Introduction
A free seminar which was presented in Hong Kong in June 2008 by Scott Ruhfus, MD Saville Consulting Asia Pacific. Provides information about the development, validation and benefits of the Saville Consulting Wave.Scott Rufhus, Director of Saville Consulting Asia Pacific, gave an exciting seminar presentation as part of PsyAsia’s themed seminar series. Attendees were introduced to the astounding research results which compare the Saville Consulting Wave and Focus assessments with other personality assessments. Scott demonstrated that both the Wave and the shorter (75 questions) Focus tools were superior predictors of job performance when compared with a range of tests including the OPQ32, 16PF, 15FQ+, HPI and DISC. Scott concluded that whilst the findings are groundbreaking, they are to be expected. The Saville Consulting range is new, developed by the world renowned authority in this field, with questions especially written for our global and IT age, yet based on proven models of personality. Competitor questionnaires developed often 20 or more years ago, whilst providing a level of comfort and familiarity to the user, can be compared with using a transistor radio rather than a flat screen TV, they may have been useful in the past, but may not provide the level and detail of information that is needed for assessment and prediction in the 21st century.

This event covers some basic principles in recruitment and selection. Despite being basic, the principles are essential in ensuring integrity in delivery of service to the client of a recruitment consultant. In our work in Asia we come across many recruitment consultants each week. We value them as clients and recognise from our interactions that much of what they are doing goes against best practice and wish to help! This webinar aims to address some of these issues and will cover topics such as:Outline of webinar
- What information do I need from my client?
- What questions should I be asking my client when I meet with them?
- How do I do a brief job analysis?
- What is a person specification? Why is it important?
- How do I produce a person specification if my client doesn't give me one?
- How do I choose which psychometric test(s) to use?
- Basic Behavioural Interviewing skills
- What other assessments could I use?
- Is there an easy way to collate all of my data on multiple candidates and rank order it for presentation to my client?Contains
