Apollo Profile Training

ACCREDITATION WORKSHOP

Introduction Personality Tests are useful tools in today’s workplace. Not only do they provide a scientific basis for selection and development of employees, they also save incredible time and cost given their ability to assess candidates rapidly and objectively. However, these benefits disappear if the tools are not used properly. It’s important for all users of a personality test to understand the basic principles of psychometric assessment generally, in addition to how the test works, how to interpret it, report and make decisions based upon the test. This is where our Apollo Personality Test Training Courses come in. In order to ensure that all independent users of the Apollo Profile are competent to use it, PsyAsia International and the Apollonean Institute require users to demonstrate their competence by way of one of the routes below. What is the Apollo Profile? The Apollo profile is a contemporary personality assessment which assesses 34 factors that are relevant to today's high performance workplace. The test was developed by Professor Richard Hicks and Mr. Jim Bowden with the twin aims of being firmly related to psychological theory whilst being useful and easy to interpret for managers and other decision-makers. With an impressive database of candidates exceeding 80,000 candidates over Asia-Pacific and real world evidence linking the factors to performance in different industries, the Apollo Profile is an ingenious accomplishment and a tool of choice for individuals and organizations throughout Asia. There's a complete range of tests on the market that purport to assess personality. Some of them use methods that should not be used in selection decisions. Other tests lack technical rigour and have low reliability and validity. Apollo not only counters these issues but it goes one step further. Even well reputed personality tests compare your candidate with the average candidate to make the scores meaningful. Apollo is not concerned with average, but with excellence and is unique in this way. Apollo reports tell you how your candidate's personality relates to those who have been rated as excellent in various roles such as Management, Call Centre Sales, General Workforce etc. Who is this workshop for? The Apollo Personality Testing Course is for human resource professionals, line managers, supervisors, consultants, psychologists, training managers, counsellors and anybody who needs to use the Apollo Profile to assess people at work or those about to embark into the working world. The workshop is structured in an easy to understand and highly interactive format making it accessible to the majority of individuals working in this field. What's included in the workshop fee? We will send you the Apollo Personality Test manual in soft copy. We will send you a link so that you can log in to our Online Learning Center and complete our Basic Apollo Online Course along with some training videos on personality assessment.
