Assessment

 

Spearheading psychological assessments for the maritime industry using modern techniques and methods. We have created a unique and precise concept for our clients when assessing personnel and crew.

  Psychological Assessment

Marine Profile Psychological Assessment constitutes the backbone of psychological assessments. It combines established scientific methods in order to make an in-depth and qualitative analysis of a candidate’s competencies. This assessment is strongly recommended for new hires and promotion processes for senior positions, and also to establish developmental potentials.

  Assessment System

Shipowners and maritime manning companies can subscribe to the Marine Profile Assessment System to use in-house for recruitments and promotions. You can thus base such decisions more scientifically. 

The Assessment System is a battery of psychometric tests on a digital platform which enables subscribing companies to make more precise and effective selection of candidates – wherever they are. It can be used on site as well as from a distance.

The Marine Profile Assessment System consists of some of the tests we, ourselves, are using, but adapted for the use by shipowners’ and manning companies’ own H/R and recruitment officers.

Personnel, designated for using the Assessment System, will be trained by a Marine Profile psychologist as a part of the subscription.

The Online Platform

The psychometric tests made available through the platform are designed to shed light on areas or aspects associated with work performance.

The tests cover such domains as personality, attitudes, intellectual capability and stress tolerance. They are multilingual and the norm groups (comparison groups) are comprised of international seagoing personnel.

Each test user in the subscribing company will be subject to a one-day training in how to use the platform, how to administer the tests and how to interpret the test results.

The company sends login details via email to a candidate; the candidate logs in and completes the tests on a computer. When the tests are completed, the sender gets an automatic notification and can retrieve the results online.

MasterMap Personality Inventory is based on the Big Five theory of personality which describes a person from five distinct domains: Sociability, Service, Conscientiousness, Energy and Stability.
The tool also describes what kind of work-style and approach can be expected. It is designed for screening where comparison between candidates is necessary.
The target subjects are “ratings” and up to senior positions, deck/engine personnel, as well as service entry level positions. To be used in combination with the MasterMatrix and/or the Stress Coping Test.

MasterMatrix is a capacity test which measures general intelligence (the g-factor). This is an aspect which has a very strong connection with job performance in general. It is non-verbal and uses figures and symbols to determine logical reasoning, spatial ability and general problem-solving capability.

Recommended for use in combination with a personality tool such as MasterMap Personality Inventory.
