Are you an online deadbeat? CyberSlacking!!!
PSYCHO TESTER: PeopleAnswers founder Gabriel Goncalves says his software can spot shirkers -- before they're hired.
Quote:
The company's do-it-yourself approach leaves the actual administering of the test to customers. To snare superstar employees (and weed out slackers), the on-line assessment draws on four personality tests that PeopleAnswers has licensed, including the Guilford-Zimmerman Temperament Survey and the Thurstone Test of Mental Alertness.
Goncalves's test features both SAT-style math and verbal problems as well as behavioral questions in which the test taker must agree or disagree with statements like "I enjoy getting acquainted with people" or "I always wanted to own a sports car."
The results include ratings in such areas as intellect, drive, motivation, and interpersonal style. Plus, companies can develop an ideal profile for each job by testing their highest performers and using those scores as a benchmark for all potential hires.
"If I am your typical Fortune 500 company, with people all over the world, how do I create a set of [screening] standards and quickly disseminate it throughout the enterprise?" Goncalves asks.
