Competency Questionnaire

Measurement and assessment of work based Competency

The questionnaire produces detailed, straightforward jargon-free competency & feedback reports.

It is valid for all levels of seniority and is available in English, French, Traditional Chinese and Simplified Chinese. Number of Questions 190 Typical completion time 15 to 25 minutes Competencies

The questionnaire assesses 130 competencies, which may also be called ‘criteria’, ‘traits’, or ‘qualities’. Competencies help to distinguish superior from average performers and provide a way to characterise the requirements of any particular job activity at any particular level in the organisation. The collective term for a group of competencies is a ‘Mindset’. The assessment is appropriate for selection, development & counselling and may be used with an individual, group or entire organisation and at any level of seniority.

This questionnaire evaluates the person against 130 competencies which are derived from our work with clients over the last two decades. Any job role can be profiled by the selection of a set of competencies from the directory of 130.

An employer can, therefore, profile a candidate against several possible job roles simultaneously. Competency reports can either cover all 130 competencies or any permutation thereof, perhaps to match with an individual job role requirement. In addition a report can show the highest and lowest scoring competencies. If a group of people currently doing a similar job complete the Questionnaire, the competencies which are indicated as characteristic and uncharacteristic of the group, can be used to provide a job/role profile for recruitment to that job as well as identify development and performance management needs for the people concerned.

Reports The following competency reports are available. All of these reports show, for each competency scale, the Sten score and a behavioural description of how that score would be displayed. For all of these reports the data is normed from a wide choice of reference groups.

The Selective, Client & Job Role reports also contain 4 randomly selected interview questions for each of the competencies Standard Reports Full (Alphabetical) This report lists the scores for all 130 standard competencies in alphabetical sequence.
