Project Management is a specialized effort undertaken to create a unique product, service, or result. It necessitates the proper application of knowledge, skills, tools, and techniques to meet projected requirements.

The Mercer | Mettl Advantage
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
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.
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 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 normal probability distribution of scores of a particular norm group determines the proficiency levels required.
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.
If you find any discrepancy in the reports from the person's actual behavior, always refer to the other environmental, physical, and psychological factors driving that behavior. For the best combination of selection tools for your needs (i.e., psychometric assessment, job/functional tests, behavioral interviews, etc.), please reach out to us.
