SECTION. II METHODOLOGY & TECHNICAL APPROACH Alternative and optional approaches during this time may include the use of an interview panel, assessment center, and/or psychological/behavioral assessment tools such as our Psychological Report as outlined below. TASK 6: - PSYCHOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT ---'-- As an option for the City to consider, we are prepared to administer a psychological assessment to the finalists. This comprehensive instrument provides a broad range of information about the candidate's behavior, work style and management style, It helps to evaluate a candidate's assets and liabilities to determine job fit, performance potential and management needs. It also includes an analysis of the participant in a number of areas including intellectual abilities (optional); intellectual usage or thinking style (optional); work style and motivations; emotional style; interpersonal style; and interpersonal influence and control. While a battery of tests such as this is not an absolute predictor of success in a job, testing can often predict potential work-related problems that an individual rmght have. The information from the psychological assessment will not only provide helpful information to assist dle City in making a successful hiring decision, but can also be invaluable in assisting in initial counseling and goal setting with the successful candidate through the use of the Developmental Report, This report can ease the transition to the new job and help prevent the miscommunications and misunderstandings that can sometimes occur in new employment situations, This report is written in a developmental tone so that it can be given to dle individual assessed and provides consullctive, objective feedback of assessment results, It is designed as a workbook requiring the individual's participation in personal development activities that may be completed individually or with a supervisor. For each candidate tested on the psychological assessment and placed in the position, WCG will provide a complimentary Developmental Report. THE WATERS CONSULTING GROUP, INC.
