Dear Trish
Greetings!
Psychometric testing is recognized as a vital component in improving organizational effectiveness through the development of individual, interpersonal and team competencies.
Organizations use psychological tests as part of the selection process-recruitment, redundancy, promotion, and for developmental purposes-career guidance and counseling, personal or team development, succession planning. To understand better the factors that tend to predict best performers, testing can be used to identify common qualities amongst successful employees in a job category, so that those qualities can be looked at and trained for.

The ability to measure these characteristics enhances decision making during recruitment and selection, individual and team development, organizational change and career directions.

Predict job performance

Hi All,
I work for Belbin (managing publishing and liasing over copyright, etc) and I just thought it worth a post or two about our Self Perception Inventory. Self-scoring methods of the test are unfortunately infringements of copyright, and should not be used, and particularly not passed on. The ones above were flagged up to me by our legal department and I'll be asking the website hosters to take them down. This is better than letting the legal department have free reign, but that sometimes has to be our resort to protect our intellectual property.
The profiles are, of course, a useful resource and we don't want to block people from giving them a try. If any of you would like to give the sanctioned online version a go, do email me (gytha @ belbin.com) and reference Cite HR. I'll then set you up a free demo.
What may possibly also add usefully to the discussion - Belbin Reports aren't a psychometric as such, since they look at behaviour in a team and not at personality. So rather than produce a profile of what someone is internally, we provide an analysis of how they behave in a team, preferably with observation from colleagues as well.
I hope this helps! :)
