Three layers of insight into every person.
A psychometric assessment uses personality tests, personality questionnaires and work-style assessments to look beyond the CV and the interview. Edstellar profiles three layers of each person, so every talent decision rests on the whole picture.
Everyday strengths
How a person typically works, plans, communicates and relates to others when things are going well.
Behavior under pressure
The tendencies that appear under stress or high stakes, so they can be recognized early and coached well.
Values and motivation
What energizes a person, what they value at work and the environments where they do their best work.

Psychometric assessment FAQs.
A psychometric assessment, or psychometric test, is a standardized questionnaire or test that measures psychological characteristics such as personality, work style and motivation. Results are compared with a relevant norm group, which makes them objective and comparable across people. Edstellar uses psychometric assessments to support hiring, development, promotion and career decisions.
A psychometric personality assessment describes how a person tends to work: their style, preferences and motivation. An aptitude test measures how well they reason and solve problems, and a skills test checks what they can already do. Edstellar often combines them, and covers aptitude on its cognitive ability and aptitude testing page.
Edstellar selects from instruments including 16PF, 16 PF Management, PAPI, Saville Wave Professional and Focus Styles, Saville Workplace Profile, Factors, MBTI, Work Style Lens, Talogy Caliper and Hogan (HPI, HDS and MVPI). Each one is chosen for the role and the decision it supports.
A psychometric personality assessment measures personality traits across three layers: everyday strengths and work style, behavior under pressure, and the values and motivation that drive a person. Edstellar compares each profile with the demands of the role, so the results support role fit, culture fit and development.
Yes, when the instrument suits selection and the results are combined with interviews and skills evidence, which reduces reliance on gut feel in recruitment. Instruments such as PAPI, Saville Wave, Factors and Talogy Caliper are well suited to hiring. Type-based tools such as MBTI are used for self-awareness, coaching and team development rather than selection.
Yes. Psychometric assessments for existing employees support development plans, coaching, team building, promotion readiness and career conversations. Participants receive a debrief so the results lead to practical next steps.
MBTI describes type preferences and suits self-awareness, coaching and team dialogue. Trait-based instruments such as 16PF and Saville Wave measure personality traits on scales, broadly in line with the widely used Big Five model, and compare them with norm groups, which suits selection and development decisions. Edstellar chooses based on the decision, the role, language and norm-group availability.
Edstellar uses instruments with published reliability and validity evidence, compares results with relevant norm groups, reviews results for adverse impact between groups, and never relies on a personality profile alone for a high-stakes decision. Standardized administration and trained interpretation reduce reliance on gut feel and keep decisions free from avoidable bias.
Participants complete most questionnaires online in a single sitting. A typical psychometric engagement takes about six weeks from scoping to development plans, depending on the number of people and instruments.
Psychometric data is collected only for the agreed purpose, access is limited to agreed stakeholders, and individual results are reported under the confidentiality terms set at scoping. Edstellar holds ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification for information security management.
Cost depends on the number of people assessed, the instruments chosen, the reports required and how much debriefing and development planning you need. Edstellar scopes each engagement before quoting, so you pay only for the evidence your decision requires.
Edstellar recommends sharing results with every participant. Development engagements include a one-to-one debrief, and confidentiality terms for hiring and promotion decisions are agreed at scoping.
