Listen Later

In this episode, Karen Kirton explores how psychometric assessments can be powerful tools for employee and leadership development. While they are often used for hiring, these assessments also provide valuable insights into personal and professional growth, team dynamics, and leadership effectiveness.

In today’s episode, you will learn about:

  • Why psychometric assessments are useful for development, providing structured, quantifiable feedback that helps individuals understand their strengths, weaknesses, and areas for improvement.
  • Different types of assessments, including self-report tests, 360-degree feedback, cognitive ability tests, and leadership development tools—each offering different levels of depth and insight.
  • The importance of using scientifically validated assessments to ensure reliability, accuracy, and meaningful results.
  • How to choose the right assessment, considering factors such as past experience with psychometric tools, job roles, and the specific skills or behaviors you want to develop.
  • Best practices for implementing psychometric assessments, including ensuring confidentiality, proper debriefing, and using assessments as an ongoing development tool rather than a one-time activity.
  • How to integrate assessment results into team workshops, leadership coaching, and performance development plans to drive measurable growth.

This episode provides a practical guide for businesses looking to leverage psychometric assessments as a structured, effective approach to employee development and leadership growth.
