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 a test in a socially desirable manner or manipulates or fakes the responses?
Utmost care has been taken to reduce the probability of individuals trying to present themselves in a socially desirable manner at every stage of the tool development. The following are some of the steps taken:
The item format of the assessment – the ‘semantic differential’ format – was deliberately selected for the purpose of making it hard for candidates to guess the appropriate response and ‘fake’ in order to increase their scores. The items are presented in a format that requires the individual to consciously think about their preferences and then make a choice between two equally ‘desirable’ statements.
Before beginning the assessment, the candidates are provided with information on the format of the assessment and are told to respond to the items according to their first reactions and not to overthink their responses. Guided by research showing the efficacy of ‘instructional warnings’ they are warned against faking and impression management and told that their assessment reports may be considered invalid if they distort their responses in dishonest ways.
The tool identifies certain patterns of responding and indicates in the report, if the candidate has attempted to respond to the assessment in an appropriate or a socially desirable manner.
2. Is it possible to map an organization's competency framework to your assessments?
Yes, it is possible. We can build a customized assessment for your organization, taking into account your organization’s unique needs and accordingly determine the combination of behaviors that determine success in your organization’s context. Please write to us for such a request and we would be glad to work out a solution for you.
3. How do we determine the thresholds for the proficiency levels for a norm group?
The thresholds for the proficiency levels are based on the normal probability distribution of scores for a particular norm group.
4. What if the reports generated for the psychometric assessments differ from the actual behavior, attitude or aptitude of the person?
Human behavior is a projection of multiple psychological and environmental factors. So, any psychometric report should not be interpreted as a definitive predictor of a particular type of behavior. These reports should be integrated with all other sources of information in reaching professional decisions about the person. If you find any discrepancy in the reports from actual behavior of the person, 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 and our consultants would be happy to assist you.
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.
