Assessments

Accurate, Reliable and Scientifically Validated

Our assessment instruments are carefully developed according to the National Standard for Educational and Psychological Testing.  Multiple scientific studies have established the reliability of the various scales that comprise our assessments.  Temporal stability has also been established.  For example, across multiple settings, the Work Attributes assessment had demonstrated validity in selecting top performers for a wide range of positions.  Demonstrated validity coefficients exceed Department of Labor guidelines for use in personnel selection.

Non-Discriminatory and Legally Defensible

Federal law demands that tests or surveys not discriminate on the basis of race, color, creed, religion, sex, national origin, age, handicap or sexual orientation.  Our assessment suite employs non-gendered norms and has been found to be highly invariant across racial and ethnic groups.  Our large normative sample contains representative numbers of non-majority individuals.

Psychometrics Highly Validated

• Internal consistency coefficients range from .71 to .87 for scales (mean = .84)
• Two-week test-retest coefficients for job applicants range from .72 to .83 for scales (mean = .79)
• The convergent and discriminate validity of the scales have been established against some of the best  researched and widely used measures of basic personality
• The assessment items, format, scoring, and interpretive statements have been consistently shown to result in no discriminate impact for any protected class of job applicants
• Extensive research supports every statement that appears in the narrative report

The Bottom Line

Use of even a single validated assessment can significantly improve workforce quality.  Compared to random selection, use of a test can prevent the hiring of 40% the number of top performers who come through your organization.

Suite of Assessments

Work Attribute Assessment

Measure 8 Major Work Attribute Factors and 21 Attribute Scales

The GSI Work Attribute Assessment provides a systematic assessment of motivational, cognitive, interpersonal, and attitudinal styles and delivers an accurate, time-efficient description of individual characteristics that have been demonstrated to impact job performance.  Our assessment is unique in that it was developed "from the ground up" to be used as a rapid, precise measure of job applicants' behavioral tendencies and is empirically linked to the US Department of Labor's O*NET database for establishing valid benchmark Job Profiles.

Integrity Assessment

Measure 12 Counterproductive Work Behaviors

The GSI Integrity Test is a 50-item assessment that applicants complete in less than 10 minutes.  Scoring is computer automated and produces a detailed report.  Research has proven that the Integrity assessment scores consistently differentiate satisfactory and unsatisfactory employees in a wide range of industries and levels of job complexity.

Sales Inventory Assessment

Rapidly Assess Potential for Success in the Sales Role

The GSI Sales Inventory is a brief test of sales potential.  Items on the assessment were selected for inclusion based on their proven ability to differentiate between higher and lower performing sales professionals.  The scales comprising the assessment have been empirically demonstrated to have predictive validity with regard to future sales success in a variety of industries, organizations, and sales positions.

Tenure Assessment

Measuring Involuntary Turnover

The GSI Tenure Assessment is an empirically-validated measure that estimates the relative likelihood of voluntary separation of an applicant.  Each applicant is scored and reported on a scale with the following anchors:  Less Likely to Retain to Extremely Likely to Retain.  The GSI Tenure Assessment assists a client by identifying new hires with a strong desire to work in the job and who will require less time to be assimilated into the organization's culture.
