Psychometrics and assessments - both personality inventories and ability tests provide a wide range of information that is not easily and reliably assessed in other ways.  The information these assessments provide, can fill important gaps that have not been filled by application forms, interviews and references. They often raise questions that can later be directly addressed. It is for this reason that psychometric assessments are used increasingly in recruitment and personal development.

dbc offer a range of psychometric inventories and assessments to provide useful information for recruitment and personal development.

Accredited to administer and interpret a large range of psychometrics, dbc can offer the New Zealand Council for Educational Research (NZCER) portfolio of inventories, OPRA assessments DISC and the Extended DISC.
