The results are a predictor of the applicant's behavior as compared to the targeted position requirements. Reports automatically compare results to 30 Generic Job Patterns helping you quickly identify differences between the applicant and the "ideal" employee. The software also has a routine that creates Custom Job Patterns based on your employees scores.
JOHNSTON INDEX
Checks problem solving, mathematics, vocabulary, and spelling.
In today's society, you need to ensure that applicants can function with basic learned skills to enable safe completion of assigned duties. The 48 item Johnston Index is timed to 15 minutes and measures:
Problem Solving
Mathematics
Vocabulary
Spelling
One of the unique benefits of Johnston Index™ is the ability to utilize Patterns. Patterns are guides created for job positions which can be used to compare applicant’s scores to the job requirements. A special routine allows creating Patterns based on current employee's scores. These are most effective since they are custom designed for your company. The Johnston Index (JI) is not a test or gauge of Intelligence Quotient (I.Q.), Mental Ability, or Mental Alertness. It also does not measure or attempt to predict any type of behavior or learning rate. Its only purpose is to measure an individual’s skill level in problem solving, vocabulary, mathematics, and spelling at the time of administration. The JI hypothesis is based on a paradigm which assumes a person can improve scores through self-study or formal classroom attendance. To use the JI in a pre-employment or promotion situation, the user-company should first administer it to employees in the targeted position. This makes JI job related and allows establishment of cutoff scores in each of the four skills areas.
INSURE
This instrument is designed for pre-screening only! Applicants with low morals and ethics, poor attitudes toward substance abuse, and who cannot be relied on, causes chaos in your work force. Adding the "I'm just here for a paycheck" attitude (work ethic) creates a recipe for failure. The 124 item Insure Survey was written to keep you from falling into that trap. Untimed, it takes about 25 minutes to complete and measures:
Integrity
Substance Abuse
Reliability
Work Ethic
Most "honesty" type tests were validated in the 1980s by comparison to polygraph results. In 1988 the Federal government determined polygraph results were unreliable. The Insure Survey ™ was validated by giving the questions to convicted criminals and comparing their answers to the answers of high performing employees. You compare the applicant's results to these two groups.
