Statistical Validity of Tools and Processes

When you hire a consultant or choose an assessment provider, you should confirm their tools and processes are valid. Can your consultant provide hard evidence that their methods actually work? How do they calculate validity and significance? Please ask these questions of your would-be vendors.

We are proud to say our tools and processes are valid and effective at ThinkPlanLaunch. They have been subjected to rigorous third-party testing over the past 3 decades by TTI Success Insights, who we have chosen to partner with for this exact reason. There is no other talent assessment provider in existence who has done the same level of research, development, and validity testing.
