How Do You Use Psychometric Assessment Tools in HR and Which Vendors Do You Recommend?

Hello All,

This is Priya, currently working as Corporate HR with one of the reputed organizations in the auto-ancillary industry. I wanted to know in which all areas of HR do you use Psychometric Assessment Tools? Also, I would appreciate suggestions for some of the good vendors for the same. We are currently working on how these tools can be used for better results.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Priya

Thank you, Mr. Raghunathan! I got a notification about this discussion from CiteHR (It is wonderful).

Hi Priya! To learn about Psychometric Testing and its usage in HR, please fill out this form to get an e-book. Due to copyright limitations, I cannot distribute the book anonymously. It has everything you need to know about psychometric tests as they are used in the entire employee life cycle. (Priya, since you have already provided your email address in the discussion, I am sending you the book by email.)

There are many psychometric testing vendors in India, and a Google search with 'Psychometric Testing providers in <your city>' will give you good results on local vendors. If you are looking for online psychometric tests, I would suggest you visit www.ThePsychometricWorld.com.

Warm Regards,

Alternative View on Psychometric Assessment Tools

You wanted to use psychometric assessment tools. However, I would like to offer a slightly different perspective here.

You are from the auto-ancillary industry, where supply chains are more advanced than in any other industry. The icon of your industry is Toyota Motor Corporation (TMC). Therefore, the question arises: have you measured the efficiency of the supply chain? To measure supply chain efficiency, you do not require any psychometric test. In fact, measuring various operational ratios scientifically is itself a challenge. Are you sure that, in your company, what deserves to be measured is measured, and that too scientifically? Survey reports of supply chains in your industry are widely available in the public domain.

The aim of any HR intervention, whether psychometric tests or otherwise, is to improve organizational efficiency/effectiveness in general and operational efficiency in particular. Nevertheless, HR interventions come with a cost too. Therefore, the ROI for the HR intervention that is under discussion, i.e., psychometric tests, would be the change in the ratios before the tests and after the tests.

I am aware that the views I have expressed here are of a high order and not necessarily comprehensible to all the members of this forum. Nevertheless, the brass tacks of HR interventions lie in their business impact, and their importance cannot be belittled.

Thanks,

Dinesh Divekar
