Executive Assessment: Is One Test Enough?
There has been a lot of discussion and, quite frankly, confusion lately around selecting the best tests to use for predicting success and advancement at the senior management ranks. In the popular press and in professional discussion groups, there have been many single tests or approaches touted as the best “one” for these purposes. Consultants, human resources professionals and hiring managers seem to have their preferences based on their experiences.
While all of these measures are well researched and are very effective in certain applications, each one, by itself, only reveals a part of the overall picture for a given person. Just as a physician would never give one test to understand your entire health profile, we cannot expect that any one psychological test will reveal complex human potential and “derailers.”
