Morrisby Profile
The Morrisby Profile (MP) is an integrated set of twelve paper and pencil tests which assess aptitude and work based personality.
The client receives a score on each of the measures which is then presented as a profile. Although the scores allow clients to be compared with each other, the "shape" of the profile is used to show a client's own strengths and limitations, and a detailed interpretation is based on the relationship of the scores with each other.
When it is used in conjunction with a detailed job analysis it provides a powerful method of matching applicants to jobs.
The Morrisby Profile assesses:
- Abstract reasoning.
- Verbal, Numerical, Perceptual, Spatial and Mechanical aptitudes.
