IQ + EQ + Personality

An excellent battery of tests to compliment your interview. This battery of tests measures general intelligence, emotional intelligence and personality. There are up to 254 questions the candidate will answer over 45 minutes. You will never come close to asking that many questions in an interview.



We recommend testing before you interview as this helps you refine your questions, but also gives you the opportunity to cull an unsuitable candidate, thus, saving time and resources. But, more importantly, it prevents you from hiring someone who excels at interviews but is weak in many other areas. First impressions are the weak link in recruitment decisions – this brief moment in time is when mistakes are made, and potentially, very costly mistakes.

Telephone screen, test and then only interviews good candidates. This one simple change to your recruitment process will significantly improve your recruitment decisions.

This battery of tests costs $450 (excl.GST), which includes talking to the candidate to explain the process and gather incidental data. We provide you with written and verbal feedback in the context of the role’s position description and the candidate’s CV. The candidate is also offered their results if they want them, which most do.

You cannot get the same depth or complexity of information about a candidate in just an interview. This battery of tests gives you that extra information to compliment your interview.

We have been using this battery of tests from Criteria for many years and we are pleased with the results, as are our clients.
