What is the difference between a psychometric assessment and a personality test?

A free personality test is usually a quick, unvalidated quiz taken out of curiosity. A psychometric assessment follows a validated methodology, produces a report interpreted against a norm group, and is used professionally for hiring, coaching, team development and certification. The difference is validation and use, not length.

What does a psychometric assessment measure?

Depending on the type, it measures reasoning ability, behavioural and communication preference, or emotional intelligence. The PRISM Brain Map is a behavioural assessment measuring preference across eight behavioural dimensions.

Can you pass or fail a psychometric assessment?

An ability test can have a pass mark set by an employer. A behavioural or personality assessment cannot be passed or failed - there is no correct profile, only different working styles.

Is the PRISM Brain Map a medical or brain-scanning assessment?

No. PRISM Brain Map is a behavioural assessment questionnaire based on applied neuroscience research. It involves no scan, no equipment and no clinical or diagnostic claim.

Where is the PRISM Brain Map available?

PRISM Brain Map is delivered by Accredited PRISM Practitioners across India and Sri Lanka, with clients in Indonesia and Malaysia supported on a tailored basis.

Can my organisation use psychometric assessments for team training?

Yes. Behavioural assessments are used as the basis for corporate training programs, leadership development and team building, giving a team a shared, evidence-based language for working style and collaboration.

How do I use the PRISM Brain Map myself?

You can complete the PRISM accreditation programme, which qualifies you to administer and interpret assessments for your own clients, team or organisation, with no prior assessment experience required.
