Shella Consultants is one of the leading executive search firm
servicing Domestic and International companies. We have developed a
range of psychometric tests that will help you to select the best
candidates for accomplishing the job with perfection. We offer a range
of questionnaires covering personality, interest and value assessments.
Aptitude and ability tests are used in occupational selection and
assessment and vocational guidance of the candidates. A psychometric
test should not be used on its own to make a decision or prediction
about a person's job performance. There are other factors that are
equally important for nearly all jobs.
Psychometric test is not only for candidates seeking job but also for
organizations selecting suitable candidates. The tests will often
provide objective data about qualities that are difficult to assess
during interview. They will also enable particular views achieved
through personal interview to be confirmed or challenged.
On line psychometric tests are very useful as - they are quick to
complete and give you valuable information on which you can decide on
the suitable candidates that you require for different job openings.
Some of the types of online Psychometric Tests that we offer to our
users include-

MTQ48
MTQ48 is a reliable and quick assessment method of an individual's
ability to withstand pressure in a range of workplace environments. It
particularly measures mental toughness in terms of 4 core components -
control, challenge, commitment and confidence.
Control: Individuals who score high on this scale realize that
they are in control of their work and of the environment in which they
work. They are capable of putting more influence on their working
environment. They get more confident about working in complex or
multi-tasked situations.
Challenge: This aspect describes the extent to which individuals
see challenges as opportunities. Individuals who see them as
opportunities will identify problems as ways for self-improvement.
Commitment: This describes the ability of an individual to carry
out tasks successfully despite problems or obstacles that arise during
the course of achieving the goal.
Confidence: Individuals who are high in confidence develop
self-belief to successfully complete tasks that may be considered too
difficult by individuals with similar abilities but with lower
confidence level. Less confident individuals are also likely to make
more errors.
MTQ48 Reports
Once the questionnaire is completed, the software immediately generates
4 different reports. Each of the report contain detailed explanations
and instructions for their applicants.
Applications & Context
This tool is particularly applicable for senior management,
entrepreneurs & business owners and people who are placed in
stressful situations, or manage those who are.
There are three major areas where this new measure will add
considerable value. They are
- Recruitment & selection - enabling better fit with a
critical area for good job performance. It is widely used in
assessment and development centers.
- Coaching/development and in personal counseling - either
to help candidates identify and cope with problems or to show them
how they can be more effective in key areas in their work
- Organizational development- where the organization
becomes aware of the potential causes of stress and pressure, they
are able to plan and to act to minimize their impact effectively.
