Behavioural Assessment Test

A Behavioral Assessment Test is a type of psychological evaluation that aims to measure an individual’s behavior, personality traits, and cognitive abilities in order to better understand their strengths, weaknesses, and overall functioning. This type of assessment is commonly used in clinical and educational settings, as well as in workplaces to evaluate job performance and suitability for certain roles.

Traditional assessment practices such as phone screening or in-person interviews make it difficult to gain accurate insights into an applicant’s ability to solve problems, fit into the company’s culture, and ultimately succeed in the position. Failure to assess behavioural traits lead to costly mis-hires and demoralizing attrition rates Factoring behavioural assessment tests into the hiring process can help organisations better understand the temperament of a candidate through a series of scientifically designed questions and scenarios.

What does Behavioural Assessment Test Measure?

A wide range of behavioural tests is used in the recruitment process to determine a job applicant’s work culture fit and team fit and predict performance fit. Recruiters are extremely cautious about hiring candidates with the right set of traits. Selecting a candidate with negative behavioural characteristics can affect the morale of everybody they work with, including peers, the people who will report to them, and other employees in the organization. The type of behavioural traits that need to be assessed and the type of behavioural Tests used may vary from job to job. Some of the commonly measured factors include openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism. A candidate’s response to these the big five factors can help assess behaviour that stems from thought patterns and internalized life experiences. The test is also widely used to create coaching and training programs for employees who wish to improve their right behavioural traits.
