PSYCHOMETRIC PROFILING

Want to know the personality and attitude of your next candidate before they get in the car with you?



Following the high levels of interest shown in the application of psychometric profiling of candidates at
the DIA Annual Conference 2008,the Association has been working with leading online profiling company PeopleMaps.

Plus, the Driving Standards Authority's interest in the impact that personality and attitude plays in learning to drive is also evidenced in the Government's current consultation paper, 'Learning to Drive'. This document and the responses to it will form the basis of what is widely expected to be the biggest reform of the driver training and testing system in the UK since the introduction of the L test. Personality profiling is one key area that lobbyists are becoming increasingly vocal about and is likely to become part of new legislative measures currently being planned.

In response, the Association has worked closely with PeopleMaps to develop a psychometric report specifically for Driving Instructors to use with their candidates which is delivered online, immediately and at very low cost.

Simply ask your candidates to fill in an online questionnaire, which takes 8 minutes and you will instantly receive a report which includes an overview of their natural preferences in key areas including:

  • Decision making
  • Concentration
  • Patience
  • Communication
  • Courtesy to strangers
  • Areas of challenge

As well as the probable personality-based reasons that they are or are not driving well.

Reports can be bought individually on pay-as-you-go for just £20 and tiered discounts apply for 5 or more reports bought in advance. There is no license fee, minimum order or software to download.

Having this information will allow you to be prepared well in advance of candidates lessons and to construct and tailor appropriate training programmes for individual's needs.

We would encourage you to share the information with candidates as an aid to identifying and explaining areas that may require attention and how your training programme is individually designed and geared to do this.

Setting up an account is simple and free with no obligation, just click the link below and follow the instructions. PeopleMaps will also provide you with £75 worth of free reports to trial the system. Simply fill in the three short market research questions when you first log in to receive the £75 worth of credit.

The web site also hosts numerous videos and guides on how to use the system to get you started as well as the expansive information on the theory, history and application of psychometric profiling.
