A great article by @NancyDoylePsych on 'Universal Design' Principles for psychometric tests - i.e. creating the tests with abilities and diversity in mind from the start, in order to reduce barriers for individuals. I especially li…lnkd.in/e6Tm8Ufx lnkd.in/eRwYSeWb

Should we avoid a 'race to the bottom' in trying to develop as short a psychometric test as possible? There are known risks to shorter tests from a reliability and validity perspective, but we also need to consider the candidate ex…lnkd.in/evdPpwPj lnkd.in/eYHPMsgS

‘Have we ever designed a culture survey for a professional services firm?’ Yes. ‘A Situational Judgement Test for the construction industry?’ Yes. ‘a full, bespoke set of reasoning tests, in multiple languages?’, ‘a test for cyber security?’, ‘an Apprenti…lnkd.in/eHjt4gQ6

Having never worked for what would be termed a 'large' company, I've never actually been to a big, posh, 'strategy away day'. After 11 years of Sten10 I've decided it overdue that I had a clear block of time to work 'on' rather than 'in' the business, so…lnkd.in/d4byCBE3

At this morning's Sten10 'Film Club' we had a double-bill about maladaptive personality (which isn't always maladaptive!). Really interesting listening to Bob Hogan's talk, dovetailed with @stewartdesson's to compare and contrast t…lnkd.in/es5D_qPs lnkd.in/eZHmuqhM

Just had a really lively session with the students at Arden University around the impact that socio-economic status has on people's performance in recruitment settings (and what we can do about it!). Here's a snapshot of those who braved the full 1.5 hour…lnkd.in/etMqS54W

A great two days at the CIPD Festival of Work - an amazing free event, so well done to all involved. It was really good to step outside the Business Psychology bubble and immerse ourselves in broader HR considerations. The topics I personally found most i…lnkd.in/esqUhXWu

There is a lot of talk about needing to embrace AI in HR at the CIPD Festival of Work. About how otherwise you might get left behind. I wondered what people’s reaction to this is in the context of so many AI luminaries saying we need to slow down; that it…lnkd.in/eKrZSx9i

Looking forward to attending the CIPD Festival of Work at Olympia for the next two days. Can't quite believe it's free: great speakers, celebrity keynotes and (and I had to read this twice) - PUPPY therapy sessions! If you are going and would like to say…lnkd.in/eyKGQNBH

Thank you Dexter Winters for coming into Sten10’s June Lunch and Learn session to talk about the work he does in the area of leadership development and run through some activities with the team. One of the activities was to do with ‘letting go of alternat…lnkd.in/efsx5yTr

Congratulations Sukhvinder Pabial on the publication of your new book on Resilience. From what I've read in the Amazon preview, it really reflects our work together at The Association for Business Psychology, which was all about practical, real world appl…lnkd.in/eCw5_sSn

Just a quick note to say happy birthday to Frontline - 10 years on and now England's biggest social work charity. It's been a privilege to work with you! lnkd.in/ea_sG3tM

Morning all! Here is the link to the recording of yesterday's webinar session: Psychology tips for engaging candidates in remote recruitment processes. Special shout out to Jane Austen and @suecolton who were looking for a copy of…lnkd.in/eWdTbMT7 lnkd.in/ecA3qq5r

Today at 1.30 I'm hosting a 30-minute webinar all about using psychology tips to engage candidates in your remote recruitment process. I interweave this with how to build relationships in general; so come for the recruitment angle, leave with winning frie…lnkd.in/ehKe5a2c

Thank you for the team warm up ideas on my previous post: here was yesterday’s ‘complete the squiggle’ task. I think Katie is the winner this time with her inspired ‘Cafe’ inspired artwork! lnkd.in/g5HWBbtk

Why and how to design your own bespoke psychometric test. lnkd.in/exURgphm

Every week I pick a new ice breaker / warm up activity for the team meeting: some are great (when we had to draw each other), some are a bit of a dud (like this week’s, coming up with interview questions for roles like prime minister, a new best friend an…lnkd.in/e9X9un5r
