Prevue Assessment
The Prevue Assessment (also known as the ICES Plus Test) measures a number of
personal attributes of job candidates. Our employee personality assessment provides a measure of a job candidate's abilities described in terms of:
-
Working with Numbers (Numerical Reasoning);
-
Working with Words (Language Skills); and
-
Working with Shapes (Spatial Reasoning).
An additional scale is developed from the combination of this data to provide a
measure of the candidate's general ability.
Second, the Prevue Assessment provides an assessment of a candidate's areas of
interest described in terms of their interest in:
-
Working with Data;
-
Working with People; and
-
Working with Things.
These are the three areas of working functions used in the U.S. Department of
Labor's "Dictionary of Occupational Titles".
The third and most significant area examined by the Prevue Assessment is an
individual's personality traits. The employee personality assessment is based upon
recognized personality scales for occupational assessment instruments. These
are the major scales of Independence, Conscientiousness, Extraversion and
Stability, (ICES). Each of these major scales is constructed from two
sub-scales or minor scales, details of which are contained in the Prevue
Assessment Technical Manual.
The fourth area measured by the Prevue Assessment has to do with the internal
validity of the candidate's responses to the questions in the assessment. A
scale denoted as Social Desirability can provide a measure of the degree to
which the test taker has modified responses to please or impress those who will
be reading the resulting report. In addition, abnormal response patterns to the
questions in the assessment will invalidate a candidate's results.
The validation of the Prevue Assessment is supported by an employee personality assessment
study of 5000 employed persons from Great Britain, the United States of America, Asia and Canada.
Our research psychologists have also conducted numerous constructive, content,
current and predictive studies to confirm the validity and reliability of the
Prevue Assessment. The results of all of these studies are reported in the
Prevue Assessment Technical Manual.
