Why Do You Call It Psychometric Profiling (Testing) and then later on Instrumentation?
We use the term Psychometric Profiling and Psychometric Testing for purely Google Search purposes to help individuals find our services based on common words they may use rather than industry terms.
Psychometric Instruments are not tests per se; that is, psychometric instruments will ask you to select your preferences using a set of cards or via paper or online scales, surveys, inventories, type instruments etc.
Your preference selection will determine the outcome of your instrumentation based on how you respond. There is no right or wrong. It is simply about your perception and preferences.
Psychometric Testing Administration, Ethics and Considerations
Psychometric Instruments are administered in accordance with ethical guidelines, industry codes of conduct and our duty of care to ensure that we do not act outside our area of expertise and minimise risks such as triggers and skewed outcomes.
Ethical guidelines are by no means used to discriminate or judge you; instead, they are in place to ensure we act professionally, fulfill our duty of care and ensure you achieve reliable outcomes.
