Assessment Consulting
The importance of reliable information in informing your professional practice cannot be overstated. There are many commonly used assessments whose reliability in measuring what they claim to measure is questionable at best. There are however many assessments whose reliability in measuring real-world factors is well-established in psychological research.
PsyCap are licensed to distribute thousands of assessments from the world’s leading assessment distributors. The number of assessments on the market can make it difficult to decide which assessment is best to use. The time and effort involved in research can be tiresome, so we do the research for you. The research identifies which factors to assess, which assessments best measure these factors, how to analyse the data and report the results.
Our assessment consulting services cater to individuals, small businesses and large organisations. We also work with Psychologists to offer a range of assessment tools for clinical, organisational, counselling, developmental and educational purposes.
