Fair integrity assessment for your human resources needs
LVA-i is an interactive evaluation platform using Nemesysco’s LVA7 technology for voice analysis, designed to
assist management with their decision making process by providing accurate, unbiased and readily available
information. LVA-i measures the emotional content and the “integrity risk” potential of a person being tested
in various topics, allowing the tested parties to express themselves freely in a natural speaking form and in the
language they are most comfortable with. The system supports both fully automated computerized testing, as
well as operator assisted over-the-phone examination of remote parties using scripted protocols.
The LVA-i test report includes
a clear and easy to understand
Integrity Risk score for each of
the tested topics, with additional
values and warnings that can be
used as supportive indications for
the eventual follow-up interviews.
Made to fit all sizes LVA-i is a scalable system available
i n d i f f e r e n t c o n f i g u r a t i o n s ,
designed to support any size and
type of organization, from SMB’s to
multi-national scale networks, from
special units to armed forces and
police recruitment, from a stand-
alone unit to multi-sites server
based solutions.
LVA-i is not a
“Lie-Detector”
• Private businesses, network chains, medium size organizations
• Banks, insurance companies and call centers
• Army, police and special units recruitment
• Guards and private security firms
• Government and recruiting agencies
LVA-i uses a structured
questioning methodology and
analyzes free speech answers
(Not “Yes/No”) to generate an
overall Risk Report per tested
topic, based on plurality of
repeating indications identified
in the relevant questions. This
analysis model ensures highly
accurate information to be used
2 in the follow-up interview.

LVA-i tests modes & scripts
LVA-i can perform a test in
two modes of operation:
• In the Automated Test mode the candidate is seated in a quiet room
in front of the LVA-i computer terminal. Using the screen and the LVA-i
phone-like handset, the system will present the selected questionnaire,
automatically advancing to the next question once a proper voice
response was recorded.
• In the Telephone Test mode an operator will assist the test procedure
with a remote party, reading the script’s questions from his screen.
Automated Test mode Telephone Test mode
The LVA-i package contains several standard employment scripts for both
the phone and the automated modes. These scripts contain questions in
the classical and most relevant topics (theft, drug abuse, etc.). Custom
made scripts can be created as needed.
The LVA-i test report is automatically generated using the analysis of the
subject’s responses to the scripted questions in the different topics.

What is an Integrity
Test? Integrity tests attempt to measure
the potential and personal
acceptance of undesired or
unlawful behaviors. LVA-i’s Integrity Risk result reflects the probable
risk of the tested party acting in
a manner that might expose your
organization to danger.
Use LVA-i for: • Pre-employment screening
• Periodical veracity tests and
“Honesty maintenance”
• Special event tests in the
organization (Theft, Confidential
information leakage, etc…)
• Security clearance
• Employees satisfaction surveys
LVA-i integrates unique voice
analysis technology with carefully
designed sets of investigative
questions to identify repeating
emotional indications surrounding
relevant questions to produce
its assessment. The system’s
standard questionnaires are
specifically designed to scan the
candidates’ personal history, test
the consistency of their opinions at
present and determine the level of
their commitment to the future.

The Automated Test Mode
LVA-i automated questionnaires are
based on Adobe Flash™ technology,
providing flexible, rich multi-media
presentation and advanced options
increationofuniquequestionnaires.
Each questionnaire is divided into
different topics, each containing
a number of questions covering a
specific issue. The questions are
presented to the candidates both
textually and vocally one after the
other.
The standard tests contain the
following topics:
Conducting an automated test -
step by step
Preparing the applicant for the test Before any test procedure, it is
important the tested party receives full instructions about the test
procedures and objectives. Test candidates are provided with a “consent form” explaining the topics and nature of questions to be asked, and allow
the candidate to ask any clarification questions or even quit.
Step 1: The LVA-i operator ensures that the testing room is clean and
quiet, and initiates the test from the management panel. The operator
fills in the candidate’s details and selects the relevant test questionnaire.
A click on the “Start Test” button loads the testing interface and locks the
management panel.
• Confidentiality and Secrecy
• Theft from Place of Employment
• Credibility and Criminal
Tendencies
• Bribery and Kickbacks
• Fraud and Deceit
• Drug Usage
• Alcohol Usage
• Gambling
Step 2: The candidate enters the examination room and sits in front of the
LVA-i monitor. The operator explains the test procedure and leaves the
room, allowing the candidate to complete the test in privacy.
Step 3: The candidate selects the test language from the available set and
confirm his personal details. As the test progresses, the candidate has to
answer a series of questions, one after the other.
Step 4: Once the test has been completed, the candidate leaves the room
and the LVA-i returns to standby mode. At this time, the HR Manager can
4 log in and review the test report in preparation for a follow-up interview. No further operation or analysis is required from the manager.
LVA-i Phone Test mode
Specially designed questionnaires for telephone interviews are also included with the LVA-i software. Unlike
the automatic questionnaire, this questionnaire is designed in a form of conversation script where the operator
reads through the pre-scripted questions one after the other, leading the candidate throughout the entire test
procedure.
Step 1: The operator ensures the candidate on the other
end of the line is in a quiet location and understands the
nature of the test.
Step 2: The operator fills in the candidate’s details and
selects the test to be performed.
Step 3: LVA-i opens the “Conversation Management”
screen and loads the selected script. The operator
reads through the script as it appears on his screen,
one question after the other. The system monitors the
conversation and analyzes the candidate’s answers.
Step 4: Once the test has been completed, the LVA-i
report is created and added to the database. No further 5 operation or analysis is required from the manager.
LVA-i Reports and Management System
Selecting a case file from the different database views opens the relevant LVA-i report. The analyses records use
a risk scoring and color codes for easy review of the results:
Test results LVA-i report screen is made of several tabs, providing different levels of
information.
The General Info tab displays the candidates’ details and a clear color
coded reading of the topics’ risk analysis results. In addition, the main
tab displays the operator’s assessment (if applicable) and a highlighted
“Warnings Log”.
The risk analysis results are based on the specific script topics, summarizing
the analysis indications from all the specific topic’s questions. The 5 risk
level indications range from low (a single green block) to high risk (5 red
blocks).
The Details tab This screen provides the user with a deeper analysis of the test results,
divided into the topics and questions. Use this screen to further examine
“High Risk” answers, and cross references in topics that may reveal
additional information.
Final reports tab Following review, managers can add their comments and observations to be included in the test file and printed reports.
Playback (optional) Where applicable by law, LVA-i allows you to record the whole test. When selecting a specific answer or segment the player will play the relevant
section, and will show the selected portion location on the bar below the
slider.
