Easily understood presentation of results
Immediately after the analysis the results are available to you. They provide a differentiated picture regarding the potential of the applicants or the members of staff.
Result overview
The result overview presents the results of the different analysis procedures in a table and in graphic form. The table lists the results and puts them in relation with the scores of a comparative group. The colored graphic allows you to understand the results at one glance.
For more detailed information an individual test analysis can be printed out. This contains all main and secondary variables as well as numerous further analyses e.g. test protocols, progress graphs, speed/accuracy charts or hexagon presentations.
Report
With a mouse click you can print out a written report, which illustrates the results.
The report presents the result profile of the applicant or the member of staff and explains how it should be interpreted.
Furthermore it briefly describes the tested factors and states how the testee performed. Practical examples illustrate which relevance these factors have for the professional life.
If required, you can also generate a separate, less detailed version of the report for your client which serves as an overview for them.
Ranking
The ranking shows you which applicant is most suitable for a certain job.
There you can specify exactly how the tested personality and performance factors should be developed in an ideal case. If required you can incorporate further criteria e.g. biographical data or professional experience in the ranking and weight their importance accordingly.
Additionally it can be established for which position or profession a particular person is suitable. This feature is useful if you have several positions to fill or if you would like to establish the suitability for particular professions.
