Through our partners MDN Fusion, we are able to offer a full range of candidate Psychometric Testing services including both personality and ability tests.

We have access to qualified consultants who are able to administer, score, interpret and feedback results of the psychometric instruments listed below.

This service can be used to administer a single instrument through to a complex set of personality and ability tools that require your employee or applicant to spend a full day with us. Some of the more sophisticated tools are able to provide a measure against management competencies and are extremely helpful in identifying leadership and selling skills.
