Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Yes. Mercer | Mettl has undertaken efforts to include a diverse and representative sample during assessment development. Further, Mercer | Mettl also offers options to optimize assessment content and scoring based on the context provided by our clients. Ask us about our local norms and validation, and we’ll gladly assist you with them.  

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.

The sample used during test development is used to determine norms, which are also recalculated regularly based on new data to ensure relevancy and accuracy in the information they provide about candidates. Further, a simple validation exercise can determine different norms that are more relevant to your organization. Please get in touch with us for more details. 

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.  

Yes. We follow a scientifically validated method for determining norms appropriate for each job role and can do the same for various job roles in your organization. Please write to us with your request; we will gladly assist you.  

The proficiency level thresholds depend on the normal probability distribution of scores for a specific norm group.  

No psychometric report can be interpreted as a definitive predictor of behaviours; instead, it should be used with all other sources of information to make professional hiring decisions. If you find discrepancies in the reports and the actual behaviour, it is advised to always refer to other factors driving the behaviour. Please contact us for a comprehensive combination of selection tools that suit your needs.
