Inside This Assessment
Mercer | Mettl’s psychometric test for teachers is developed by a team of qualified psychometricians and subject matter experts to measure the dark side of people on six dark traits: opportunism, insensitivity, self-obsession, thrill-seeking, temperamental and impulsiveness. This simple question and answer test focuses on whether such a trait is present at low, moderate or high levels.
The assessment is primarily designed to be used as a screening tool to help school management gain access to otherwise hidden information about prospective school staff, including teachers, administrative and support staff. In addition, the assessment can help the school management ensure the safety of school children.
The assessment can identify individuals who have core personality features that are aversive. These people are well integrated into society, yet their aversive personality characteristics can compromise safety in schools as such individuals tend to engage in antisocial acts.

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. 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.
3. 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.
