The Science Behind Our Assessments
Who Designs Our Assessments?
Each assessment product is designed to meet the specific business needs of
our clients by a specialized Product Development Team. This team is headed
by Dr. Scott Hamilton, the Senior Vice president for Research and
Development, a project manager from the R & D staff, appropriate Profiles
International staff members from Marketing and Information Systems and often
a carefully selected consulting industrial/organizational psychology firm.
Profiles International Inc. controls the
design, development, programming, testing and final production of all our
assessment products.
Developing Our Products
The psychometric research behind our assessments supports their reliability
and validity in business employment settings. The actual questions that are found in
these products have survived a testing and selection process that has
reduced as many as 500 items in a research pool down to less than 20% of its
initial size. The questions that we use in our assessment tools have been researched and have
demonstrated good reliability and appropriate validity in identifying a
specific trait or factor in your employee. Used as designed, our products have become an
indispensable part of the selection and evaluation process for over 35,000
Profiles International, Inc. clients.
Our Technical Manuals
The technical manuals for our products reflect the research and development
work done as a part of the process to bring the product to you. They have
been written in clear language to facilitate their understanding. These
manuals are continually updated to reflect the results of the latest
research on each product. Take a look at some of our technical manuals:
Ongoing Research and Improvement
The products of Profiles International, Inc. are always evolving into more
effective assessment instruments. We are continually working with the users of our
assessments and employee testing products to research the effect that using our products has on their
business. We utilize the feedback from our clients, as well as the results
of ongoing research, to modify the products when warranted.
