A standardized questionnaire or test that measures psychological characteristics such as personality, work style and motivation. Results are compared with a relevant norm group, which makes them objective and comparable across people. Edstellar uses them to support hiring, development, promotion and career decisions.
A psychometric personality assessment describes how a person tends to work: their style, preferences and motivation. An aptitude test measures how well they reason and solve problems, and a skills test checks what they can already do. Edstellar often combines them.
Edstellar selects from instruments including 16PF, 16 PF Management, PAPI, Saville Wave Professional and Focus Styles, Saville Workplace Profile, Factors, MBTI, Work Style Lens, Talogy Caliper and Hogan (HPI, HDS and MVPI), each chosen for the role and the decision it supports.
Traits across three layers: everyday strengths and work style, behavior under pressure, and the values and motivation that drive a person. Edstellar compares each profile with the demands of the role, so results support role fit, culture fit and development.
Yes, when the instrument suits selection and results are combined with interviews and skills evidence. PAPI, Saville Wave, Factors and Talogy Caliper are well suited to hiring. Type-based tools such as MBTI are used for self-awareness, coaching and team development rather than selection.
Yes. Psychometric assessments for existing employees support development plans, coaching, team building, promotion readiness and career conversations, with a debrief so results lead to practical next steps.
MBTI describes type preferences and suits self-awareness, coaching and team dialogue. Trait-based instruments such as 16PF and Saville Wave measure traits on scales and compare them with norm groups, which suits selection and development. Edstellar chooses based on the decision, role, language and norm groups.
Edstellar uses instruments with published reliability and validity evidence, compares results with relevant norm groups, reviews results for adverse impact, and never relies on a personality profile alone for a high-stakes decision.
Participants complete most questionnaires online in a single sitting. A typical engagement takes about six weeks from scoping to development plans, depending on the number of people and instruments.
Data is collected only for the agreed purpose, access is limited to agreed stakeholders, and individual results are reported under the confidentiality terms set at scoping. Edstellar holds ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification.
Cost depends on the number of people assessed, the instruments chosen, the reports required and how much debriefing and development planning you need. Edstellar scopes each engagement before quoting.
Edstellar recommends sharing results with every participant. Development engagements include a one-to-one debrief, and confidentiality terms for hiring and promotion decisions are agreed at scoping.
