Which psychometric tools do we recommend for final candidate assessment?

For a thorough analysis of the candidate's potential for the role, areas of development and possible risks of employing that person, we recommend:

A test that measures
normal personality (Big 5) - behaviour-based, which measures how others will most often perceive us on a daily basis, under normal circumstances. Both Hogan's HPI test, 16pf, MAP and OPQ 32, are particularly good for this purpose. All four are DNV approved.
A test that measures normal personality (Big 5) - behaviour-based, which measures how others will most often perceive us on a daily basis, under normal circumstances. Both 16pf, Assessio's MAP test and Hogan's HPI test are particularly good for this purpose. All three are DNV approved.
  • A test that measures behavior under stress and pressure - then the darker sides of the personality often come to the fore. Personality traits that can often destroy the person concerned in their work. These can be strengths that are used too much and too extreme (estimation). The only test on the market today that measures this specifically is the unique Hogan's HDS test. The report you get based on this test contains information that is often very difficult to find out in any other way. It is critically important information as it can contribute to ruining the candidate's work behaviour, your organisation's efficiency and reputation, and it can affect the working environment in a negative direction. The test is DNV approved.
A test that measures motivation and preferences - What do they like best? What drives them? What brings out the glow and energy in them? Hogan's MVPI test is very good at measuring this. Likewise, the MBTI is very good. The MBTI is not normally recommended for recruitment due to its psychometric structure (ipsative), as well as the fact that it measures preferences and not behaviour. But if one uses it in addition to a normal personality test, then it will be able to provide good information about which work environment (structure, framework, work style and communication style) the person will most enjoy working in.
  • One analytical test which measures general ability level (G-factor). We prefer one of the world's most used and recognized tests, Raven's Progressive Matrices. It measures a person's problem-solving and reasoning capacity and the ability to see logical connections.
