Episode 92: Beyond Personality: Are Your Assessments Actually Predicting Success?
You’ve probably heard someone say this after taking an assessment: “Wow. That is incredibly accurate. It sounds exactly like me.”But if you’re using assessments to make decisions about hiring, promotion, leadership development, or succession, “accurate” isn’t enough. In the latest episode of People Solutions, Sue talks about the difference between assessments that describe people and those that actually give you useful information for making better people decisions. We’ll look at:• Why personality and behavior are only part of the picture • What you should be measuring if you want to better predict success • How assessment data can help reduce bias and improve interviews • Five questions to ask before putting too much faith in any assessment She also shares a simple three-question test you can use to evaluate the assessments your organization already uses. Because the most important question isn’t, “Does this sound like me?” It’s, “What does this help me do?”
