Inside This Assessment
The role of a manager is rightly interposed between the organization's hierarchical structure and ranks of positions for performing critical business functions. It takes a dynamic manager to understand the team and organizational dynamics. The manager's role is critical, as the person has to act as a bridge between the employees and the leadership team and coordinate with his team for optimal productivity. Selecting the right candidate for the managerial role is critical for organizational growth. Typically, the old-school hiring methods do not help recruiters make the proper selection consistently. Consequently, there is a need for an objective, bias-free and scientific tool for assessing managerial potential. Similarly, an effective individual contributor may sometimes struggle to be an effective manager and hence, may not be able to demonstrate exemplary performance as a first time manager. That is where Mercer| Mettl's Managerial Potential Assessment comes in handy and helps identify the developmental needs in order to help the employees and organizations groom their managers.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. What if a person takes an assessment in a socially desirable manner or fakes or manipulates the responses?
The assessment has been designed on the ‘semantic differential’ format, which requires candidates to consider their preferences and choose between two " equally desirable" statements. The assessment also delivers ‘instructional warnings,’ where candidates are informed that distorted or fake responses will invalidate the assessment. The assessment tool can also identify specific response patterns that may indicate fake responses.
2. Can a company's competency framework be mapped to the assessments?
Yes. We can provide customized assessment solutions that consider the organization’s requirements and competency framework to determine the appropriate behaviors that indicate success in the organization's context. Please write to Mercer | Mettl with the request for assistance.
3. How do we determine the norm group's proficiency level thresholds?
The normal probability distribution of scores of a particular norm group determines the proficiency levels required.
4. What if the reports generated for the psychometric assessments differ from the actual behavior, attitude or aptitude of the person?
We have taken all necessary steps to reduce the possibility of test takers trying to present themselves in a socially desirable manner. For example, the test follows a ‘semantic differential’ format, which makes it hard to ‘guess’ the appropriate response. Additionally, the items are presented in a format that requires one to consciously think about one's preferences and then choose a more ‘desirable’ statement. The tool also identifies specific patterns of the responses and can indicate if candidates attempt to respond dishonestly.
5. Can we do benchmarking for an organization for a specific role?
It is possible to do so for different job roles for your organization. We follow a scientifically valid benchmarking process. Please write to us and we would be glad to assist.
6. How are norms formed for any specific psychometric test?
The data obtained through across industries and across verticals of various types of organizations is updated in the Mettl database periodically. Utmost care is taken such that the newly added data gets incorporated periodically while preparing the reports.
