LMI Assessment Tools

Profile Evaluation System™

The PES has been successfully implemented in thousands of organizations throughout the United States and Canada over the last 30 years. The PES combines cognitive and personality scales in a normative instrument for the most accurate approach to providing a well-rounded picture of an individual.

The PES predicts how an individual might perform in a given job by comparing an individual’s Profile to a normative pattern which reflects a “job match” developed of successful individuals in that job.

Because the PES is comprehensive, it is an excellent tool in the hiring and placement process. As a coaching tool, the PES helps management communicate more skillfully with team members, and it helps identify developmental needs for an effective job match. The PES is also an effective tool for use in succession planning and career development of employees.

Windows-based software is available to score and print a comprehensive report. The report provides important information on six mental aptitudes and 10 personality dimensions, along with two validity scales. Information can be saved and retrieved for further evaluations and reports.

Effectively used in the marketplace for more than 15 years, BYH is a quick, inexpensive, reliable method for screening job applicants.
