Select Overview and History
 
Since the mid-1980's, the organizational psychologists and consultants of Assess Systems have been involved in the development of tailored selection systems for client companies. In recent years, these systems were increasingly focused on the selection of candidates for associate-level jobs. In each case, as part of the project, we were asked to develop and validate work personality tests. These projects were conducted in a variety of industries.

While in each validation study a custom selection tool was developed to meet the unique aspects of a particular job it became increasingly apparent that these instruments shared in common many work-personality dimensions. From this research, we developed the foundation for the Select test family. Each Select test measures both those common dimensions predictive of performance in most associate-level jobs, as well as unique dimensions specific to the particular job for which it has been validated. Below is an overview of common dimensions across Select tests.

  • Positive Attitude - Shows faith in self and positive outlook on self, others, and the company
