The
Apollo Profile is a personality test that
has been designed to be a multi-purpose
instrument measuring personality, work preferences,
motivations, and values. It is intended
as a career assessment instrument, and for
use in recruitment and selection, and the
development of individuals and organisations.
Building on established psychological
theories and a model of excellence put forward
in the Karpin report “Enterprising
Nation”, the Apollo Profile is a comprehensive
psychometric test. Designed from the outset
to be used internationally, the profile
is different to other personality assessments
in that it compares test-takers
to a model of excellence rather than to
the average person.
The Apollo Profile provides a personalised
report that can give individuals, consultants
and decision-makers insight into thirty-four
factors that have been found to contribute
to career success. Multiple psychological
models and theories are incorporated into
the test. In particular, The Apollo Profile
provides diagnostic and descriptive comments
regarding possible training needs and ways
to enhance work and career performance.

Colour Coding
Colours are used as guidelines for quick interpretation, and indicate as follows:-
GREEN Score is in the range normally associated with successful performance at the Level of report produced. Green generally represents an ideal score range associated with appropriate behaviours for that factor at that level, rather than an average or mean score for that factor.
NOTE: Some factors have abutting green ranges, for example Achievement at an Executive level. This means that a very high score shows that the respondent highly values results, and is likely to push for them. However, just below this range, a respondent also values results, but is more likely to balance the need for achievement with other needs. Both these scores are associated with success, but usually sponsor different observable behaviours. Accordingly, different comments are given in the Narrative Report.
AMBER Score is outside the range normally associated with successful
performance at this level, and the candidate is likely to need some development.
RED Score is outside the range normally associated with successful
performance at this level, and the candidate is likely to need significant development. Comments made based upon scores in the red range should be verified and examined carefully from other sources if possible. |

Comprehensive
The Apollo Profile is like a mini test battery that enables more information on specific attributes. Most other instruments measure far fewer attributes, with many common ones only having five or eight factors.
Specialised
Separate reports are available comparing
against Executives, Sales Employees,
Middle Management, Supervisors, Customer
Service Staff, Support Staff and Call
Centre Staff.
Modern
The Apollo Profile is based on today's workplace and reflects modern organisational life.
Readability
Written in easy to understand non-psycho babble terms. Use of colour also aids quick benchmarking and relativities.
Accurate
Research and testing has been carried out in the design and construction of the Apollo Profile by psychologist Professor Richard Hicks; users can be confident of the methodology and data supplied, subject to the normal limitations applicable to the use of any instrument of this nature.
Speed and Convenience
Instant on-line processing of the questionnaire via the Internet gives you instant reports at your own location.
Control and Security
No other parties can access your confidential reports.
Online and offline administration
Apollo can be administered online or using traditional paper-and-pencil methodology.
Facility to benchmark your own staff
As a consultancy service, PsyAsia can assist you in benchmarking your own staff and therein produce your organisation’s own model of excellence for future candidate comparisons.

In order to use Apollo
competently, you must be appropriately trained.
To be a qualified user for Apollo you need
to have undergone PsyAsia’s Apollo
accreditation workshop or Online Accreditation
Training. If you hold the BPS Level
B Certificate of Competence in Occupational
Testing (also
offered by PsyAsia) or an international
equivalent, you may convert to Apollo by
thoroughly reading the technical and interpretive
manuals and completing a competency exam.
Alternatively you may join our Live
Online training. If you hold BPS Level
B from PsyAsia from June 2010, you will
already be qualified to use Apollo. Qualified
Apollo users get their own online system.
If you do not currently hold the BPS Level
A/B certificates, you may prefer to attend
our Psychometric
Assessment at Work course to gain this
international qualification and use Apollo.
Another option is to complete a one-hour
Basic Apollo Course online and
pass the quiz. Following this you may purchase
Apollo reports from us using our bureau
service. However you will not have your
own online Apollo System and your report
choices will be limited as we can only provide
fully interpretive reports without any numerical
data to those who take this basic course.
Alternatively, please consider using our
Psychologist-on-Call™Service. |
