PsyAsia International is pleased to team
exclusively with the world's leading publisher of modern, fresh
and innovative aptitude tests, Saville Consulting. Developed by
Professor Peter Saville (the co-founder and former executive chairman
of SHL) and his team, this portfolio of tests offers exceptional
and precise measurement in short periods of time and provides
outstanding, easy to understand reports. Clients are no longer
stuck with boring tests that have not been developed in years,
rather bright, well-validated tests which capitalise on advances
in online technology and come from a name they know they can trust.
Some major benefits of
the Saville Consulting range:
Shorter assessment times
Fresh, modern content and design
Greater job relevance
Clear instructions
New, in-depth outputs
Candidate friendly feedback
Saville Consulting has moved beyond a single
summary measure of overall test performance and now provides
supplementary information on Test Taking Style in terms of Accuracy,
Speed and Caution as well as sub-scores based on question formats.
Swift Analysis, Comprehension
and Technical Aptitude combination assessments measure
broad reasoning constructs and are ideal for screening, talent
audit and selection in situations where time is at a premium.
Each series of separate aptitude has been developed for a broad
range of roles and feature the three test types likely to be most
relevant in such roles. The separate tests measure a specific
aptitude area in-depth with up to five Item Type sub-scores.
All measures within a range have
been designed to have comparable levels of difficulty. They have
wide bandwidth and good score discrimination enabling deployment
across a range of levels. Saville Consulting designated five work
complexity levels with reference to the definitions of the UK
National Vocational Qualifications and corresponding Zones in
the US O-Net system and levels in the Stratified Systems Theory
of Jaques (1996):
Level 5: Work
that involves the application of a range of fundamental principles
performed across a wide and often unpredictable variety of contexts
with very substantial personal autonomy and often significant
responsibility for the work of others and for the allocation of
substantial resources. Personal accountabilities for analysis,
diagnosis, design, planning, execution and evaluation often feature.
Level 4: Work
that involves the application of knowledge in a broad range of
complex, technical or professional work activities performed in
a variety of contexts and with a substantial degree of personal
responsibility and autonomy. Responsibility for the work of others
and the allocation of resources is often present.
Level 3: Work
that involves the application of knowledge in a broad range of
varied work activities performed in a wide variety of contexts,
most of which are complex and non-routine. There is considerable
responsibility and autonomy and control or guidance of others
is often required.
Level 2: Work
that involves the application of knowledge in a significant range
of varied work activities, performed in a variety of contexts.
Some of these activities are complex or non-routine and there
is some individual responsibility or autonomy. Collaboration with
others, perhaps through membership of a work group or team, is
often a requirement.
Level 1: Work
that involves the application of knowledge in the performance
of a range of varied work activities, most of which are routine
and predictable.
