Psychometric Profiling...


Recruiting new staff or selecting the most appropriate people for development or promotion is never easy.
There are many ways of identifying the development potential of existing and prospective employees. No one method will provide a complete picture. Psychometric profiling can provide invaluable information about aspects that other methods do not cover. Clearly you will want to know about each person’s education, training, skills and experience, values and attitudes, intelligence although this is extremely difficult to measure.
Plus their behaviour and emotions - in other words, “how they will act” once in post. This is important, as mistakes can be difficult and expensive to rectify! Psychometric profiling can be used to: .



  • Measure an individual’s behaviour and emotions (how they act.)
  • Profile the behaviours and emotions required by a particular job.
  • Provide the basis for identifying further development or coaching needs.
  • Provide information about team dynamics, self-awareness and prevent/resolve conflict.


Psychometric profiling is a long established and validated process, it is cost-effective, straightforward to carry out, results are quickly available and can be under pinned by supportive de-briefings. Contact OAM to discuss how psychometric profiling could benefit your organisation.
