Psychometric Assessment
Understanding people and what makes them who they are,
is a science that in the Western world has its origins with the early Greek
philosophers. Hippocrates developed the notion of four basic temperamental
types, sanguine, choleric, melancholic and phlegmatic. This theory of personality
types has evolved through the centuries with a considerable amount of modern
theory having been developed during the 20th century.
Psychometric tests are designed to provide a partial
assessment of certain human attributes. These include intellectual ability,
specific aptitudes, interests, values and personality. Using such tests it
may be possible to understand what it is that makes individuals what they are
and what influences their individual differences.

development and teambuilding tests and Assessments may be used
It is important to choose the right test for the purpose
for which it is to be used.
