Team and Leadership Assessment and Selection

Ability tests may be aptitude tests and generally have a very high validity; the downside is that they basically measure only one or two competencies; 'decision making' and the 'ability to learn'. They are basically IQ tests and there has been a great deal of publicity around the research and studies showing that Emotional Intelligence (EQ) is much more important when it comes to managerial performance. While personality instruments generally have a lower validity than ability tests, they are still high enough to use if the right ones are chosen and they cover a much wider range of competencies and better reflect the applicant's level of EQ.
