Why am I being asked to complete these tests?
The success of a company is based on the effectiveness of the people who work for it. A person's effectiveness depends on how well matched he or she is to the demands of the job, and on how well he or she is able to bring all assets (knowledge, experience, skills, and personality characteristics) to bear on performance.
If you are applying for a job with this company, the test results will help the company compare your personality and the personality requirements of the job for which you are applying, in the same way that your work experience, job knowledge, and skills will be compared to what the job requires in those areas.
How long will it take to complete these tests?
Each of our timed tests has a different time limit. There is a clock on each screen that shows how much time you have left. Depending on which of our untimed tests your company has selected for inclusion in this process, it may take between 30 and 60 minutes. If it seems to be taking you longer, you may be spending too much time thinking about individual questions. Each test that is included for you has its own set of instructions that you will see before you begin the test, and those instructions will give you an idea of how long the test will take.
Will my responses be kept confidential?
Yes! Your answers to these tests will be transmitted confidentially ONLY to Helm and Associates, Inc., who maintain all records according to the confidentiality standards of the American Psychological Association and the Texas State Board of Examiners of Psychologists. The interpretive report that is based on your answers is the property of the company for whom you complete these tests. It will not be divulged to any other company, individual, or entity.
Can a person "fail" these tests?
No! There is only one test that you may be asked to take that has "right" and "wrong" answers, and it is used only as an evaluation of potential.
