In the current COVID-19 setting, where everyone is talking about or picking up on a variety of topics, one has piqued my interest.

Presenting an excerpt from the same 

In a culture where employees and businesses meet by video conference and selection and recruitment monitored online with no face-to-face interactions, search consultants can offer precise and predictive assessments and useful insights into finding the right executive and non-executive talent. With the help of psychometric testing.

What is psychometric testing?

They are questionnaires used for personality evaluations. Psychometrics allows one to quantify personality characteristics, behaviors, emotional reactions, and psychiatric effects objectively in both study and practice.

Psychometric testing instruments are appropriate for a variety of uses and results and help you determine which assessments are suitable for your business. There are four major clusters or groupings of characteristics that psychometric evaluations evaluate: aptitude, behavior, appearance, and emotional intelligence.

An Australian-based Challis & Company (www.challis.co), with Hannah Challis (Executive director and Organisational psychologist), firmly believes that psychometric testing can be predicted to be an essential tool to perform structured and organized virtual interviews and recruitment. 

The reports generated from the psychometric tools will give insights into the personality trait (behavior, decision-making ability, competency, nature, etc) of the applicants (individually) and a window for improvement with the development plans created by the tool.

Through this type of recruitment procedure, it not only becomes easy for the clients to onboard best fit, but also candidates receive valuable development plans and insights whether or not they are selected for the job.

The effect of COVID-19 highlights the importance of research. Challis & Company works closely with boards of directors and CEOs who are making recruiting decisions without getting the ability to meet applicants in person. Psychometric assessment is much more important in this situation.

Relational distancing has resulted in organizations and persons living under altered employment conditions, which could last for a long time. Psychometric testing may reveal how individuals and groups respond to the effects of physical separation, social alienation, and remote working. Hannah says, broader understanding of an individual’s fundamental beliefs and form of character proves to be helpful. It allows leaders to be more empathetic to a wide variety of reactions, challenges, and desires at these periods, as well as implement successful working conditions and the correct community.

Mucormycosis: 2021 Epidemic ???

By
It would be unjustifiable for me to not chronicle this issue as a microbiologist.                                            Image credits:  Pathology Outlines - Zygomycetes Mucormycosis (formerly known as zygomycosis) is a severe but uncommon fungal illness caused by mucormycetes, a kind of mould. Molds may be found in many kinds of places. Mucormycosis is a fungal infection that mostly affects persons who have health issues or who use medications that reduce the body's capacity to resist infections and illness. After breathing fungal spores from the air, it most often affects the sinuses and lungs. It can also happen after a cut, a burn, or any other form of skin damage. While we work to defend ourselves against COVID-19 and live with it, there is another threat posed by a fungus that we must be aware of and respond to. During or after recovery, a few COVID-19 patients ha...

Counseling psycology: History

By
  By S Adeeb Mujtaba Ali Since the dawn of society, counseling has been an important part. Right from grandparents to parents advising other family members followed by providing guidance to residents by community leaders, counseling has always been an important and organic part of the human experience. During the Industrial Revolution era when people and their mobility increased by migrating to other lands, the traditional essence of counselors was lost due to separation from their families and communities. Following which there was a communication gap, people started feeling isolated and led them to approach for psychiatric help or landing to asylums.  In present times people started opting for modern psychiatry, which is nothing but professional counseling, a current trend taking rounds to keep a check on mental health. However, the presence of inefficient mental health institutes led to, a mental hygiene movement —headed by a cohort of psychiatrists,...

Practical learning vs theoretical learning

By
The most contentious topic of discussion: theory vs. practical knowledge. Some believe that students should study more about practical courses such as computer degree programs, technical degree programs, and so on. Others, however, believe that students should learn about theoretical subjects such as history and science. But first, let's know what this term implies, and what theory is. In our educational system, theories about knowing basic life fundamentals meet with any topic, such as science, mathematics, english, geography, and history. Theoretical knowledge, then, is the understanding of what is true. Theoretical knowledge may assist you in comprehending the underlying notion and understanding how something works and how it works. The term "theoretical knowledge" refers to learning something without applying it in practice. It explains why one is more successful and the other is unsuccessful. Theoretical knowledge may help you grasp a notion better by allowing you t...
