Apollo Personality Test Training Course

Putting Psychology to
Work in Asia
Introduction
Personality Tests are useful tools in today’s workplace. Not only do they provide a scientific basis for selection
and development of employees, they also save incredible time and cost given their ability to assess candidates
rapidly and objectively. However, these benefits disappear if the tools are not used properly. It’s important for
all users of a personality test to understand the basic principles of psychometric assessment generally, in
addition to how the test works, how to interpret it, report and make decisions based upon the test. This is where
our Apollo Personality Test Training Courses come in. In order to ensure that all independent users of the Apollo
Profile are competent to use it, PsyAsia International and the Apollonean Institute require users to demonstrate
their competence by way of one of the routes below.
What is the Apollo Profile?

The Apollo profile is a contemporary personality assessment which assesses 34 factors that are relevant to
today's high-performance workplace. The test was developed by Professor Richard Hicks and Mr. Jim Bowden
with the twin aims of being firmly related to psychological theory whilst being useful and easy to interpret for
managers and other decision-makers. With an impressive database of candidates exceeding 80,000 candidates
over Asia-Pacific and real-world evidence linking the factors to performance in different industries, the Apollo
Profile is an ingenious accomplishment and a tool of choice for individuals and organizations throu ghout Asia.
There's a complete range of tests on the market that purport to assess personality. Some of them use methods
that should not be used in selection decisions. Other tests lack technical rigour and have low reliability and
validity. Apollo not only counters these issues but it goes one step further. Even well-reputed personality tests
compare your candidate with the average candidate to make the scores meaningful. Apollo is not concerned
with average, but with excellence and is unique in this way. Apollo reports tell you how your candidate's
personality relates to those who have been rated as excellent in various roles such as Management, Call Centre
Sales, General Workforce etc.
Who is this workshop for?

The Apollo Personality Testing Course is for human resource professionals, line managers, supervisors,
consultants, psychologists, training managers, counsellors and anybody who needs to use the Apollo Profile to

field.
