CLUES has six reports and is the most cost efficient assessment tool on the market enabling businesses to test candidates all candidates for mid to lower end positions where work attitude causes most problems and turn over.

CLUES was created using the most modern protocols for validation and is designed to be used throughout the lifecycle of employees for selection, development, succession planning, career development and strategic workforce planning.

Clues Measures Three Dimensions

1. Personality

The CLUES personality assessment is built upon the well-accepted “Big 5” concept of core personality traits and also includes a “Teamwork” scale as well as a “Good Impression” scale. These core personality traits are measured with a 70-item assessment that takes approximately 10 minutes to complete. The specific measurements are:

Conscientious (Organization): Describes the degree to which the individual is persistent, motivated, and organized, ranging from being highly disciplined and dependable to being carefree.

Tough-Minded: Describes the degree to which the person is pleasant and agreeable, ranging from being warm, tolerant, and tactful, to being tough-minded, sceptical and direct.

Conventional (Rules): Describes the degree to which the individual is predictable, rules oriented and structured, to being open to new ideas, adventuresome and inconsistent.

Extroverted: Describes the style and focus of an individual’s emotional energy, ranging from being outgoing, dominant, ambitious, and sociable, to being introverted, shy, and quiet.

Stability: Involves the degree to which an individual is emotionally stable and resistant to stress, ranging from being well adjusted, calm, self-confident, and poised, to being sensitive and anxious.

Teamwork: In addition, CLUES™ includes a Teamwork scale that measures the applicant’s attitudes towards teamwork versus individualized work environments.

Good Impression: A validity scale that measures the degree to which the person has responded frankly to the test items or is responding in such a way as to make a good impression.

2. Cognitive

There is little question among Personnel Psychologists that cognitive ability—the ability to process and retain information quickly—is a necessary skill that transcends most jobs. For most jobs there is a range of cognitive ability associated with on-the-job success; a higher level of cognitive ability is not necessarily associated with job success. What matters is the fit with the requirements of the job.

The CLUES Cognitive Assessment measures problem solving and learning speed by assessing verbal, numerical and spatial reasoning and then combining these to create one overall cognitive ability score. This core cognitive ability is measured with a 30-item assessment that is computer timed for 7 minutes.

3. Attitudes

The CLUES Attitude Assessment measures six areas of potentially counterproductive behaviours by a self-descriptive inventory that taps six substantive areas of concern as well a Good Impression (validity) scale. The scales measured are:

Conscientious (Dependability): Describes the degree to which the individual lacks persistence, work motivation, and organization, ranging from being lackadaisical and careless to being highly disciplined and dependable.

Hostility (Aggression): Describes the degree to which the person is not able to suppress angry feeling but rather expresses anger physically or verbally to co-workers and thus poses a real risk in the workplace.

Integrity (Honesty): Involves the degree to which the person is likely to engage in pilferage, short-changing customers, falsifying expense accounts, lying to protect him- or herself, exaggerating one’s job qualifications and other acts of dishonesty.

Substance Abuse: Describes the possibility that this person might use illegal drugs or alcohol while at work, might show up for work either drunk or high or badly “hung over,” and thus pose a safety risk because of impaired perception or judgment.

Sexual Harassment: Involves the likelihood that the person will ask co-workers for sexual favours, make sexual remarks that upset colleagues, tell “dirty jokes,” or otherwise behave inappropriately at work.

Computer Misuse: Described the possibility that this person might abuse the organization’s computers to send and/or receive personal e-mails, “surf the Web,” transact personal business, or otherwise violate company computer-use

Good Impression: A validity scale that measures the degree to which the person has responded truthfully to the test items or is responding in such a way as to make a good impression.

The CLUES Attitude Assessment is modular with four “core” scales and then three additional scales that can be added as needed. The core assessment is 80 true/false questions and if all the core scales are added, the assessment is 140 questions ranging from a time frame of 8 minutes to 20 minutes if all the scales are used.
