Inside This Assessment
The mere presence of dark personality traits in an individual does not indicate a person's propensity to behave in an undesirable manner. Instead, dark behavior manifests when such dark traits are triggered due to factors such as work environment, trait level, and circumstance. That is why specific work environments where employees work independently in customer-facing roles are more conducive to triggering dark traits such as cab driver jobs. It is hence imperative to assess potential hires and employees to determine their predominant dark traits. When people are aware of their dark traits and situations that manifest such traits, it becomes easy for them to self-monitor and keep themselves in check. That is why Mercer| Mettl's cab driver psychometric assessment is a tool employers can use to measure negative personality constructs in potential hires.
Through this personality diagnostic, employers can ascertain whether such a trait is present at low, moderate or high levels, which is crucial to ensuring a safe, happy, healthy and productive work culture. Mercer|Mettl’s cab driver assessment test can help employers identify individuals who have core personality features that are aversive. These people are well-integrated into society, yet their aversive personality characteristics can potentially compromise customers' safety as such individuals tend to engage in antisocial acts. Most importantly, this tool would help cab industries hire reliable and efficient drivers.

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. 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.
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.
