The main purpose of the Prevue 1.04d Assessment is to provide
management reports that compare a job candidate
or current employee to a job
Benchmark in a manner that is easy for a
manager to understand. Once a candidate's responses to the Prevue 1.04d Questionnaire are
entered and scored by the Prevue 1.04d Software Program, a number of reports that will
aid management in making human resource decisions can be produced. The reports can be distributed by
hard copy from a printer.
The Prevue 1.04d Assessment provides four different types of report
which can be delivered in three formats. The four report types
address the four major human resource decisions that management is
most frequently required to address:
- the Selection Report is designed to assist
management with selection, hiring and promotion decisions;
- the Coaching Report is designed to assist
management in determining the particular areas of coaching training that
could improve the performance of a current employee. The report
contains recommendations as to the type of coaching or training that may be
appropriate;
- the Succession Planning Report examines
what jobs within an organization might best suit an individual. The report
compares the abilities, interests and personality traits of an employee to the
Benchmarks for various jobs within the employer's organization; and
- the Individual Report provides a
general description of the test results without specific reference to a
candidate's scores. Individual reports are sometimes provided to employees
as part of the coaching process to facilitate a discussion on the test
results without reference to specific scores.
These four types of Prevue 1.04d Reports can be produced in one or more of the
following three formats:
- the Full format provides a complete, detailed report. The
Full format is available for all four report types;
- the Summary format summarizes the
information contained in the Full format. Frequent users of the Prevue 1.04d
Assessment who are familiar with the scales in Prevue 1.04d Reports
will use the Summary format. The Summary format is only available for
Selection and Coaching reports; and
- the Graph format displays the graph
page from the Full format. The Graph format is only available for Selection, Coaching and
Individual reports (the Benchmark for the job is not displayed in the
Individual report). Users of the Prevue 1.04d Assessment may find this
format helpful if they are examining several candidates for a particular
job at the same time.
The Prevue 1.04d Questionnaire
can be administered in three different versions: the Full version, the
Numerical Reasoning version and the Personality Only version. The content of each of
the four types of Prevue 1.04d Reports
will be determined in part by the version of the Prevue 1.04d Questionnaire that has
been completed by a candidate.
The four reports can be used to emphasize those
areas where the candidate is and is not compatible with the criteria
reflected in a Benchmark. Prevue 1.04d
Reports yield an overall percentage of job suitability and
commentary on each characteristic identified in the Benchmark. The overall
percentage figure helps to rank candidates in respect to their job
suitability. In the Selection Report, interview questions are suggested for candidates
who do not match a preferred characteristic in a Benchmark. The Coaching Report offers
training or instructional tips for managers. The information in the reports is designed
to help managers maximize on-the-job performance.
