Our team can work closely with you to embed assessment insights into your everyday people decisions and HR processes, build benchmarks tailored to your specific roles and teams, or equip your team with the skills and confidence to run the process independently.

Reports that respect your time. Clear, practical, actionable.

The Retail Assessment results report displays an individual’s results across each of the 6 dimensions, with a clear breakdown of what each score means in a practical workplace context. 

The report also includes expected workplace behaviours, tailored management strategies, and recommended interview questions based on the individual’s unique profile. Where job-specific benchmarks have been built, results can be compared directly against the traits and trait levels that have been identified as markers of success in that role, giving you a clear, objective measure of person-job fit.

We ensure assessments are accurate, reliable and fair

Validated against international assessment standards

The Retail Profile has been built by expert industrial psychologists and based on well-established psychological frameworks, undergoing rigorous scientific development to ensure accuracy, consistency, and real-world relevance. It has been validated through extensive research, statistical testing, and ongoing refinement to ensure it measures what it’s designed to measure, reliably and repeatedly. It is aligned with International Test Commission guidelines for fair and ethical test use.

Norms

Scores are calculated against a broad normative sample, meaning each individual’s results reflect where they sit relative to the general population rather than an absolute scale. A “high” or “low” result is only meaningful when measured against how others typically respond, ensuring results are consistent, comparable, and grounded in real data.

Security & Anticheat

The Retail Assessment includes built-in consistency checks that flag irregular response patterns, rushed answers, or attempts to manipulate results, including the use of AI-assisted responses, giving you confidence that every profile accurately reflects the real person completing it.

“The amount of psychometric tests and how much it reveals on people is phenomenal. Blown away the detail and what it has taught me about myself and my team. Highly recommend.”
