Abstract

The aim is to take decision making about people beyond gutfeel and to make psychological measurement relevant tothe key challenge of our time, which is to give strategic shape to thehuman aspect of business. The thesis is that, if we wish to obtainbetter results from our decisions than we do from gut feel alone, wemust have the capacity to predict accurately the behaviours which leadto success in a given context. Psychological assessment gives us thiscapacity because it measures key and critical attributes, specifiestheir interaction, predicts their impact on behaviour and so constructsa model of psychological economy to forecast the success of theselfincontext. How psychological measurementaccomplishes these tasks is explained and some consideration is given tokey points of method.
