Communication, motivation and information processing preferences

Testing used to measure maximum performance, however this is now changing. As part of the Emotional Intelligent toolkit, measuring typical performance gives a more realistic view of how a person is likely to perform on a daily basis. This is measured by motivational testing which assesses what drives individuals on a daily basis. Each response is defined from their communication and information processes and reports give line managers advice on the motivational language to use to get the best out of specific employees.

JobEQ provides online HR tools that help to improve Emotional Intelligence (EQ) in the workplace. jobEQ brings HRM to the next level by focusing on work attitude, motivation, values and skills for each partof the human resources process.

JobEQ VSQ

Cultural fit is the third pillar of jobEQ's testing suite, and we measure it with the VSQ. The test was built on the foundation of human values and culture research. Essentially, the VSQ measures three things:

1. Value Systems: 8 patterns of value systems that help determine what decisions you make (see Clare W. Graves, Beck & Cowan)
2. Value Hierarchy:A ranking of the most important values for an individual
(inspired by Nietzsche)
3. Social Pattern Variables:10 patterns orignialy proposed by Talcott Parsons and often used in cultural and social research (e.g. Trompenaars, Hampden-Turner, Hofstede, ...)
