For decades, it has been proven that psychometric and skills tests support various business functions, including recruitment, sales, customer service, productivity, training, team dynamics, and communication. While they are not a perfect solution, these tests help avoid many common mistakes.
For example, in the field of talent acquisition, 47% of recruiters express concerns about unconscious biases, which can affect the fairness of hiring decisions. These biases include:
- Naivety: Believing things or people based on appearances or their words.
- Entomologist: Making judgments solely based on facts, ignoring emotions.
- Confirmation: Seeking information that confirms existing beliefs.
- Projection: Favoring those who share similar values and thoughts.
- Stereotypes: Attributing specific traits to a group of people.
With appropriate tests, these biases can be mitigated.
