My Potentia - a Gamified psychometric assessment tool.

INTRODUCTION

My Potentia is the world’s most comprehensive language free, culture fair, digital assessment tool for measuring a person’s potential, capability and trainability. 

My Potentia does not require language, literacy, numeracy, any level of formal education or prior understanding or experience of a test environment. 

HISTORY 

My Potentia is the digital version of the Q Test, which was originally developed by Emeritus Professor George Kearney, a highly respected psychologist.  The early applications of the Q Test (non-digital), developed by Professor Kearney were in Papua New Guinea, post WWll where the Australian Defence Force had to work across approximately 720 distinct language groups to select suitable candidates to form a military division. 

Following further development, the Q Test has been used extensively in the resources sector (Aust, PNG and SE Asia), with a particular focus on supporting people with barriers to selection for education/training and employment opportunities. In short, the Q Test has had significant and particular success in assessing people who may have presented with barriers such as low levels of formal education, low literacy levels and first language interference. 

My Potentia has been extensively validated against the Q Test and is recognized as a psychological assessment instrument. Its digital application makes it a far more accessible instrument than its non-digital predecessor. Professor George Kearney oversaw the validation process for My Potentia. 

It is the long-term use and continued validation of the Q Test that provides My Potentia, the digital version, with such an extensive pedigree. This ensures that as an assessment instrument, My Potentia is fair, valid and reliable. 

BENEFITS 

My Potentia, through its elimination of bias, provides a detailed assessment of a person’s capacity to be able to complete the requirements of employment roles as well as training/education programs. 

My Potentia reliably identifies a person’s capacity to learn and apply knowledge. It provides the required evidence to align people to employment roles as well as education and training requirements. 

Key benefits include; 

1.   No spoken or written language is used by the administrator or participant. This removes any inherent language bias, second language interference or unintentional support from the person administering the assessment. 

2.   My Potentia is culture fair. The assessment does not include any symbols, icons or gestures that may be familiar to a particular culture, region or country. It is therefore free of cultural bias. 

3.   No level of literacy, numeracy or prior learning is required. 

4.   Online accessibility enables candidates to complete My Potentia in any country or region, enabling global application. 

5.   My Potentia does not require administrators (assessors) to complete specialist training. 

6.   Confidential candidate reports are provided electronically. 

7.   My Potentia does not require extensive training to administer. 

Powerful, simple and designed to save significant time and money for companies in employee selection as well as training and development of their people, in a way that's never been done before. My Potentia is a game changer!
