Behavioural Assessment
Thomas’ behavioural assessment PPA provides an accurate insight into how people behave at work, giving you a greater level of certainty when recruiting. The Thomas PPA is a forced-choice instrument which uses an ipsative referencing method – an individual’s response patterns are compared to themselves rather than the scores of a comparison group. Individuals are asked to select one adjective which they believe describes them most and one which describes them least. In order to complete the PPA, individuals choose two trait adjectives from a block of four, one ‘most like’ and one ‘least like’ them. This process is repeated 24 times, giving 48 choices from a total of 96 words. Once candidates have completed the online exercise via an online link you will be provided with an initial profile detailing a person’s strengths and limitations, their communication style, what motivates them, their basic fears and how they behave under pressure. The Thomas PPA has been subject to rigorous scientific testing to determine its reliability and validity as a psycho-logical assessment. The PPA is registered with the British Psychological Society (BPS) after it was audited against the technical criteria established by the European Standing Committee on Tests and Testing, part of the European Federation of Psychologists’ Associations.
