Behavioural assessments are more likely to be valid if you control conditions during the assessment intake process.  In order to make sure that the assessments are completed continuously, without interruption and without second guessing by the assessment taker we have we have added an assessment timer to the Person Analysis. 

The timer allows you to restrict the amount of time available to candidates or employees completing the Person Analysis online to 7, 8, 10 or 12 minutes.  The amount of time remaining is displayed for the candidate as the go through the Person Analysis.  If the candidate does not complete the assessment within the specified time they are able to return to restart the assessment in 60 minutes using the same credentials.

The amount of time taken to complete all assessments is now recorded in the Person Analysis, Executive Summary and Administrative Data reports.

This lively RSA Animate, adapted from Dan Pink's talk at the Royal Society of Arts, illustrates the hidden truths behind what really motivates us at home and in the workplace.  You can learn more about Dan Pink at www.danpink.com.

We have created The Insights Blog to provide articles, share best practices and stories from third-parties related to People Management, HR, Assessment issues, and articles on using DISC assessments effectively. We will also let you know about product updates and upcoming events.
