The Guardian
Who It's For?
To be used with job applicants or promotion candidates such as lower management, supervisory, technical, and customer service personnel.

The Guardian Assessment measures an individual's mental acuity, the ability to perform simple math functions, i.e., addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, and to work effectively with administrative details

The Guardian also asks direct admission questions concerning an applicant's history of job-related theft, alcohol and drug usage, and provides a risk factor for the individual.

The Guardian assessment measures the following ten personality dimensions:

Energy - energy and drive level; how tension and stress are handled
Flexibility - integrity, adaptability, creativity and work ethic
Organization - propensity to plan and prioritize time wisely
Communication - compares social vs. analytical styles
Emotional Development - level of self-confidence, sense of urgency, and ability to handle pressure
Assertiveness - whether a person will take charge or be a follower
Competitiveness - whether a person is team-spirited or individually competitive
Mental Toughness - measures sensitivity in style vs. tough mindedness
Questioning/Probing - inclination to ask questions and probe before making decisions
Motivation - measures security vs. recognition and achievement orientation

The Guardian assessment report contains the following segments:

The Narrative Segment briefly explains each aptitude and personality dimension and the numerical score obtained.

A Graphical Analysis allows you to compare the individual's actual scores to the desirable Core Competency Benchmarks* for the job. These benchmarks may be developed for a specific company in the following ways.
  1. Based on their own successful people in the job.
  2. The job description itself.
  3. The candidate can be assessed against our large database of successful people in the same occupation.
Behaviorally oriented interview questions are also created from the personality assessment of the individual. This tool aids the interviewer in further assessing the individual's suitability for the job and provides interview consistency across the organization.

*Core Competency Benchmarks are the critical aptitudes and personality traits required for success in the job.
