Description
Vancouver based Prevue HR was founded in 1994 by Ken Muir, who felt the assessments used for hiring sales employees into Xerox didn’t meet his expectations. The development of Prevue was led by two of the world’s leading psychometricians, Dr. David Bartram and Dr. Pat Lindley. Bartram is a past chair of the International Test Commission and Lindley is the author of the BPS test training regimes.
They spent several years at the University of Hull developing the Prevue assessment suite. Professor Peter Clough was also involved in some of that work whilst he was based at the University of Hull.
AQR has distributed the Prevue Assessment into UK , Europe and South Africa since those early development days over 20 years ago. Although we have since published our own psychometric tools (MTQ48 and ILM72) that are focused on employee and organisational development. The Prevue Assessment, with its focus on recruitment, remains a key part of our assessment offering.
The Prevue Assessment is a high quality comprehensive psychometric measure which assesses:
- Abilities – 3 areas + an overall measure
- Motivation and interests – 3 areas
- Personality – 13 areas
Widely accepted as key qualities for a good fit for most jobs, these can be difficult to assess by other means.
Prevue adds considerable value:
- As an assessment tool in Recruitment and Selection – enabling better fit to a job across 20 key scales and better for to an organisation – particularly in term s of its culture.
- It is also invaluable in Management or Employee Development Programmes and Coaching.
