Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for testing employability of a person.
  • BACKGROUND ART Prior art methods for testing employability usually only measure isolated abilities, such as fluid intelligence, or biographic parameters, such as working experience and/or education. It has turned out that prior art methods are not very suitable for predicting job-success with regard to knowledge based jobs. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
  • the present invention may be implemented by the following embodiments.
  • a computer based method for testing employability and personal strengths of a person comprising:
  • the sets of questions being stored on at least one server
  • an electronic-device comprising at least one monitor for displaying information and an input-device for entering data to the electronic device;
  • the electronic device and the server being connected to each other by means of a communication-network;
  • the at least one server comprising at least one control unit being configured to calculate measures that are representative for the drive/ambition, the Intra/Interpersonal skills, the creativity/curiosity and the fluid intelligence of the person based on the answers transmitted to the server.
  • measures that are representative for the drive/ambition, the Intra/Interpersonal skills, the creativity/curiosity and the fluid intelligence of the person based on the answers transmitted to the server.
  • at least four different factors are assessed and these are 3 personality types and one abilities assessment.
  • At least some or all of the questions and/or answers used to assess intra/interpersonal skills are picture based.
  • the questions and/or answers used to assess creativity/curiosity are picture based.
  • some or all of the questions and/or answers used to assess drive/ambition are picture based.
  • Picture based questions are more engaging than just text and allow to convey more information.
  • a further advantage of picture based questions is that people can answer more rapidly and they are less invasive, less fatigue than answering text questions. Also higher completion rates can be achieved.
  • the communication network is the internet.
  • the questions stored on the server can be accessed via a website.
  • Using the internet allows to access the test without any restriction of time and location. Person can do the test where ever they have internet access.
  • Fig. 1 shows a flow chart of a method according to the invention.
  • Fig. 2 shows a first picture based question and answer used for measuring fluid intelligence.
  • Fig. 3 shows second picture based question and answer used for measuring fluid intelli- gence.
  • Fig. 4 shows a diagram of a proportion of the correct answers to fluid intelligence questions versus the ability level.
  • Fig. 5 shows a first picture based question/answer used to assess intra/interpersonal skills.
  • Fig. 6 shows a second picture based question/answer used to assess intra/interpersonal skills.
  • Fig. 7 shows a third picture based question/answer used to assess intra/interpersonal skills.
  • Fig. 8 shows a text based question used to assess creativity.
  • Fig. 9 shows a picture based question/answer to assess drive/ambition.
  • Fig. 10 shows a website providing access to an online-test based on the method according to the invention.
  • Fig. 11 shows end-user devices used for executing the method according to the invention.
  • Fig. 12 shows strengths based feedback report.
  • joinder references e.g., "attached”, “coupled”, “connected”, and the like
  • Joinder references are to be construed broadly and may include intermediate members between a connection of elements and relative movement between elements. As such, joinder references do not necessarily infer that two elements are directly connected and in fixed relation to each other. It is intended that all matter contained in the above description or shown in the accompanying drawings shall be interpreted as illustrative only and not limiting. Changes in detail or structure may be made without departing from the spirit of the invention as defined in the appended claims.
  • Figure 1 shows a flow chart of a method according to the invention.
  • different abilities and strengths relevant to success at work are assessed.
  • questions related to different personality factors and abilities are provided to a person doing the test.
  • Personality factors tested are connections measures how well you manage relationships and how well you work independently. It comprises of the fol- lowing strengths: Autonomous, Balanced, Diplomatic, Direct, Emotive, Independent, Sociable and Supportive.
  • Creativity measures how original and innovative your thinking is, or how logical and analytical it is. Its made up of the following strengths: Adaptable, Classical, Focused, innovative, Open to Experience and Pragmatic
  • the questions may be stored on a server and can be transmitted to and displayed on an electronic device of the person doing the test (Fig. 11).
  • the electronic device such as a mobile phone, tablet, personal computer, laptop, etc. comprises an input device, such as a keyboard, mouse or touchpad.
  • the electronic device and the server are connected by means of a communication-network.
  • the communication network is the internet.
  • the test and the questions that are stored on the server can be accessed via a website (Fig.10).
  • At least some of the questions and answers being picture based questions and answers.
  • “Picture based” means in the present context that the questions and/or answers contain images.
  • the term "picture based” does not exclude the presence of text parts as well. In case of picture based answers the answers may also be stored on the server and transmitted via the communication network to the electronic device of the person doing the test.
  • the person doing the test may enter answers to the questions into the electronic device by means of the input-device. Multiple answers may also be displayed on the monitor, wherein the person being tested has to choose one or more of the answers. In the latter case the answers may be chosen by means of the input device ("point and click").
  • the answers are then forwarded to the server via the communication network.
  • the server comprises at least one control unit, such as a processor, being configured to calculate measures that are representative for the drive/ambition, the Intra/Interpersonal skills, the creativity/curiosity and the fluid intelligence of the person based on the answers transmitted to the server. Preferably for each personality factor tested a respective value is calculated based in the answers. These values may be compared to respective thresholds to evaluate employa- bility.
  • Figures 2 and 3 show examples of picture based question and answer used for measuring fluid intelligence. Since the questions and answers are picture based valid measure of general mental ability is possible and as not verbal, the test is less prone to cultural bias.
  • the fluid intelligence test is preferably adaptive so when the person being tested gets questions wrong it gets easier then harder.
  • Fig. 4 shows a diagram of a proportion of the correct answers to fluid intelligence questions versus the ability level. There may be a large number of questions for assessing thinking. But, each candidate receives a small number only, e. g. betweenlO and 18 items. All items have strong correlation to established tests and reliably measure the same dimension of cognitive ability.
  • Fig. 5 to 7 show different examples of picture based questions/answers for testing intra/interpersonal skills. Intra/interpersonal skills may be assessed using Implicit Association Testing (IAT). The IAT test measures strengths of attitude towards collaborative work.
  • IAT Implicit Association Testing
  • Fig. 8 shows a text based question used to assess creativity. Creativity can be assessed based on number and creativity of answers.
  • Fig. 9 shows a picture based question/answer to assess drive/ambition.
  • Drive/ambition may be tested based on a Situational judgment test (SJT). Hypothetical scenarios are given and persons doing the test are asked to identify how they would think they would behave.
  • SJT Situational judgment test
  • a strengths based feedback report may be generated based on the test result. This report indicates the strengths of the person having done the test and may provide coaching guidance for action.
