Candidate Report

Report Options in Development Contexts The fact that Dimensions offers a selection of profiles from a single

administration of the instrument gives us additional flexibility in how we can use the various outputs.

The Trait Profile can be used to explore strengths and fit in relation to the role a candidate has now and for gap analysis with regard to development needs

The Type Profile focuses on how you communicate and understand other people

The Development Profile can “get beneath the skin” of the Traits and examine development needs in more detail

The Derailment Profile highlights the risk areas that need to be managed and developed in order to avoid Derailment and its negative consequences.

As the various outputs all come from the same data, they can compliment each other and can be used in combination, depending on the requirements of the situation.

Customisation Dimensions has been designed so that it can be “mapped”

against client competency frameworks

Reports can also be re-branded to meet client requirements. This increases the relevance and ease of use of the outputs.

Finally, the candidate interface can be branded to provide candidates with a joined-up and brand aligned experiences.

Customised Assessments

About Elements

Recruitment and Elements Dimensions can be complimented in recruitment contexts by

the use of objective ability tests. Talent Q’s Elements suite of tests sit within the same system

and represent the cutting edge of ability testing in occupational settings.

The suits consists of:– Elements Verbal– Elements Numerical– Elements Logical

Adaptive or Non-Adaptive?

Non-adaptive tests present questions ranging from easy to very difficult of all candidates (irrespective of ability level)

Longer assessment as more questions are asked

Question redundancy The final score is a measure of their

typical performance overall The experience feels easy/boring

for brighter candidates but for others can be frustrating & uncomfortable as they are faced with many questions beyond their capability

Adaptive tests present only questions relative to the person’s ability level

Shorter assessment as less questions are required to determine ability level

No question redundancy The final score is a more accurate

measurement of ability level and is a measure of optimum performance

The experience is uniformly challenging across all groups, as most questions match their ability level

Commercial Considerations

TQAS Costs There is no cost for: No “set up” fee to get started Having a Talent Q Assessment System account – no ‘licence fee’ Uploading candidates for assessment Candidate non-completion Creating Role Profiles Assigning assessments or Notifying candidates via the system

We don’t believe in charging the costly set up fees commonly associated with many psychometric test providers

Instead we adopt simple and pragmatic approach for accessing the most effective assessment solutions.
