More than 30 years in development, the LPA offers a uniquely relevant approach to the application of psychometrics in a working environment. The LPA program highlights the often complex inter-relationships between Personality and the five other key functional areas shown in the table above. This provides information that is directly relevant to a person’s working experience.
The LPA program has a built-in suite of utilities that enables the user to carry out sophisticated analysis within teams and groups, to assess people against user-determined profiles, and to run all common statistical functions e.g. T Test, Correlations and Factor Analysis. LPA produces a series of clearly written and jargon-free text reports, which are designed to support executive development.
LPA makes a significant contribution to career development, executive selection, and job profiling.
The LPA program is held by consultants, or by company or organisation HR professionals. Candidates complete the LPQ questionnaire online and results are delivered automatically to the consultants or company or organisation HR professionals who will be handling the feedback.
