The Apollo Profile is a personality test that has been designed to be a multi-purpose instrument measuring personality, work preferences, motivations, and values. It is intended as a career assessment instrument, and for use in recruitment and selection, and the development of individuals and organisations.

Building on established psychological theories and a model of excellence put forward in the Karpin report “Enterprising Nation”, the Apollo Profile is a comprehensive psychometric test. Designed from the outset to be used internationally, the profile is different to other personality assessments in that it compares test-takers to a model of excellence rather than to the average person.

The Apollo Profile provides a personalised report that can give individuals, consultants and decision-makers insight into thirty-four factors that have been found to contribute to career success. Multiple psychological models and theories are incorporated into the test. In particular, The Apollo Profile provides diagnostic and descriptive comments regarding possible training needs and ways to enhance work and career performance.

  Apollo Reports    
 
The Apollo Profile provides a number of different reports, ranging from full narrative reports, to developmental reports and exception reports, to brief summary and feedback reports. Please download sample reports here.

Colour Coding
Colours are used as guidelines for quick interpretation, and indicate as follows:-

GREEN Score is in the range normally associated with successful performance at the Level of report produced. Green generally represents an ideal score range associated with appropriate behaviours for that factor at that level, rather than an average or mean score for that factor.

NOTE: Some factors have abutting green ranges, for example Achievement at an Executive level. This means that a very high score shows that the respondent highly values results, and is likely to push for them. However, just below this range, a respondent also values results, but is more likely to balance the need for achievement with other needs. Both these scores are associated with success, but usually sponsor different observable behaviours. Accordingly, different comments are given in the Narrative Report.

AMBER Score is outside the range normally associated with successful performance at this level, and the candidate is likely to need some development.

RED Score is outside the range normally associated with successful performance at this level, and the candidate is likely to need significant development. Comments made based upon scores in the red range should be verified and examined carefully from other sources if possible.
 
  Custom Profiling    
 
As a consultancy offering, PsyAsia International can work with your organisation to produce custom profiles based on what predicts success at your organisation. Once completed, you will be able to compare future applicants or current incumbents with the baseline of high performers.
 
  Advantages of the Apollo Profile    
 
Comprehensive
The Apollo Profile is like a mini test battery that enables more information on specific attributes. Most other instruments measure far fewer attributes, with many common ones only having five or eight factors.

Specialised
Separate reports are available comparing against Executives, Sales Employees, Middle Management, Supervisors, Customer Service Staff, Support Staff and Call Centre Staff.

Modern
The Apollo Profile is based on today's workplace and reflects modern organisational life.

Readability
Written in easy to understand non-psycho babble terms. Use of colour also aids quick benchmarking and relativities.

Accurate
Research and testing has been carried out in the design and construction of the Apollo Profile by psychologist Professor Richard Hicks; users can be confident of the methodology and data supplied, subject to the normal limitations applicable to the use of any instrument of this nature.

Speed and Convenience
Instant on-line processing of the questionnaire via the Internet gives you instant reports at your own location.

Control and Security
No other parties can access your confidential reports.

Online and offline administration
Apollo can be administered online or using traditional paper-and-pencil methodology.

Facility to benchmark your own staff
As a consultancy service, PsyAsia can assist you in benchmarking your own staff and therein produce your organisation’s own model of excellence for future candidate comparisons.

Best Match™
Produces limited reports initially whilst a quick click will home in on a candidate of interest and provide a more detailed report for an additional credit. This means you save by only paying for detailed reports on those candidates of greatest interest. Note: Best Match™ fees are set for mass screening.

Competitively priced just for Asia! PsyAsia offers special pricing for our Asia market. Fees listed are for clients based in Asia only. Australia market pricing is charged for clients outside of Asia.

  Qualifications Required to use Apollo Profile    
 

In order to use Apollo competently, you must be appropriately trained. To be a qualified user for Apollo you need to have undergone PsyAsia’s Apollo accreditation workshop or Online Accreditation Training. If you hold the BPS Level B Certificate of Competence in Occupational Testing (also offered by PsyAsia) or an international equivalent, you may convert to Apollo by thoroughly reading the technical and interpretive manuals and completing a competency exam. Alternatively you may join our Live Online training. If you hold BPS Level B from PsyAsia from June 2010, you will already be qualified to use Apollo. Qualified Apollo users get their own online system.

If you do not currently hold the BPS Level A/B certificates, you may prefer to attend our Psychometric Assessment at Work course to gain this international qualification and use Apollo.

Apollo Basic Online Personality Course

Another option is to complete a one-hour Basic Apollo Course online and pass the quiz. Following this you may purchase Apollo reports from us using our bureau service. However you will not have your own online Apollo System and your report choices will be limited as we can only provide fully interpretive reports without any numerical data to those who take this basic course.

Alternatively, please consider using our Psychologist-on-Call™Service.
