How does ASSESS differ from other assessments? The heart of the ASSESS system consists of a rules file, a normative database (over 40,000 cases), job specific templates, success profiles, and competency based feedback. The Industrial/Organizational Psychologists of BHA have developed a comprehensive set of rules that tie report text to logical expressions of normed score ranges on ability tests and personality scales. ASSESS’s profile level approach provides a much more coherent evaluation of the candidate and produces very readable, high quality reports. The ability to compare candidate results to a broad array of job-type templates or organization-specific, validated Success Profiles further contributes to the value of ASSESS in selection, placement, and development applications. Competency-based reports allow organizations to integrate their competency models into their selection and development processes. ASSESS Competency Reports evaluate an individual's personality and how it may help or hinder their ability to display characteristics crucial to top performance within the organization. Participant and Manager websites (included in the ASSESS system) are designed to support the implementation of an organization's selection and development programs. Coupled with the software-aided competency modeling process and the inclusion of the Assess360 multi-rater system component, ASSESS now provides a comprehensive picture of personality and abilities, as well as feedback on actual behavior.
