Discover a person’s true individuality
How does your company select people when recruiting?
We often hear that interviews or aptitude tests based on answering questions make everyone seem alike, or leave uncertainty about whether the answers reflect the person’s true thoughts.
Recruiters work hard every day to identify each person’s unique individuality and discover the unpolished diamonds their company needs.
Objective test results predict
performance after recruitment
Let us introduce a research study.
A study published in the United States in 1998 by Hunter and Schmidt began with the question of whether using objective tests—intelligence tests—in recruitment is worthwhile. It examined tests as well as résumés, interviews and other recruitment criteria, measuring the correlation between results at recruitment and later job performance.
According to the account presented here, observation during a probationary period showed the highest correlation, followed by objective tests and structured interviews, in which every candidate is asked the same questions. Résumés, experience and unstructured interviews showed lower correlations.
The study estimated that not using objective tests in recruiting American civil servants would lead to a productivity loss of about US$15.6 billion—approximately ¥1.7 trillion at the exchange rate of the time.
That is a considerable impact.
The Uchida-Kraepelin Test: an internship you can conduct in 50 minutes
The research above concerned intelligence tests, but the Uchida-Kraepelin Test also has a high correlation with intelligence tests.
It can reveal another aspect as well: how a person tends to control and express their ability.
We call the characteristics arising from the combination of ability and control the person’s working style.
By having examinees carry out a model task—that is, by placing them under actual workload or stress—the Uchida-Kraepelin Test can help predict their working style.
Although it may not offer the same accuracy as observation during a probationary period, it is, in a sense, a 50-minute internship.
Discover the individuality hidden in your applicants’ working styles with the Uchida-Kraepelin Test.
(The total time is approximately 50 minutes, including instructions, practice and the main test.)
To arrange the Uchida-Kraepelin Test, a work-based aptitude and personality test that can be used in the same way in Japan and overseas, please contact your nearest distributor in your country or region.
