The Profile Evaluation System (PES) has been successfully implemented in thousands of organizations throughout the United States and Canada over the last 30 years. PES combines cognitive and personality scales in a normative instrument to provide a well-rounded, comprehensive description of an individual's aptitudes and personality.

The PES predicts how an individual may perform in a given job by comparing that individual's Profile to a normative pattern which is developed for a specific job at a specific organization. Along with interviewing, checking references, and administering other applicable tests, the PES helps ensure good, solid hiring decisions.

The Profile, is an effective instrument that allows companies and individuals to maximize the fit between employment demands and the abilities, aptitudes and personality constellations of employees or potential employees. When this fit is optimized there will be greater comfort and productivity on the part of employees.

Employee inefficiency and turnover will be minimized and organizational productivity will be maximized. While all managers acknowledge the importance of the hiring function most also recognize the importance of developing management and leadership skills in their present employees. Information about individuals and their tendencies is also extraordinarily valuable in these contexts as well. The profile was developed with the goal of helping companies make sound employment, retention, assignment, training, and promotion decisions.

The Profile Evaluation is the right business tool for evaluating people.  It identifies strengths and areas for development.  The evaluation is extremely useful in coaching and training. It helps increase employees' effectiveness and determine training needs.  It is also useful in making hiring and promotion decisions.
