Validity

  • The ability component is powered by Pearson's leading cognitive ability tests:  Watson-Glaser and Bennett Mechanical
  • The personal work style component of each assessment ties directly to The Department of Labor's extensively-researched O*Net data on key competencies for that occupation
  • For production employees at a Fortune 500 commercial printing company, the work styles predicted supervisor ratings of initiative (r = .30), innovation (r = .37), potential (r = .35), and job satisfaction (r = .39)
