How we know this assessment works
SJT performance should reflect judgement at work, not polish in an interview. That’s why Perceptions™ uses large-sample consensus scoring and adverse impact testing to keep results reliable, fair, and defensible.
Work-linked by design
SJTs have established utility for predicting job performance, because they assess judgement in job-relevant situations.
Stronger scoring approach
Uses advanced consensus scoring based on responses from hundreds or thousands of relevant participants, improving reliability and validity versus small SME panels.
Fair and defensible
Consensus scoring is designed to reduce adverse impact and improve fairness, and the suite has passed adverse impact analyses with diverse norm groups and reasonable adjustments available.

We have used test partnership for over a year now to grow our supply chain team... it has helped us hire 6 people at different levels, and assisted in countless applications. The tests we have used are insight numerical, verbal and inductive to show a wide range of skills. It helped us massively during the hiring process as this is a very comparable test so we were able to directly analyse candidates. It also saved us time, as we were able to rule out some candidates based on scores, saving us interview time. One of my favourite things about test partnership is the user interface. I believe it is very simple to use. Furthermore, the use of graphs and other data makes it easy to compare.

Also, we are able to evaluate our candidates and recognize better any red flags.
