Assessment Reliability and Validity

Scientifically designed for business

All Profiles products are scientifically driven. They have all been developed specifically for business use. Our products are client-driven. We have focus groups of clients looking at what we do and our clients help us make our assessments better. Our products are validated and revalidated using people in the workplace. Any other assessment company would consider an assessment validation study using 1,000 subjects as a huge study. In our most current validation study, 200,000 working people took part.

Regular and Consistent Revalidation -

We validate more than once for a good reason – because assessments can't be allowed to get old. Old is not good in the assessment business because language is not static and assessments are made up of words. The meanings of words change, sometimes quite rapidly, and when meanings change, it can affect how people respond to a questions in an assessment, invalidating the question. If enough questions change, the entire assessment may become invalid. That’s why Profiles regularly and consistently revalidates all of our products, question by question. Whenever necessary, revisions are promptly made.
