Numerous studies have found that an uncomfortably high percentage of new hires for many companies are a poor fit for their new position. These kinds of hiring errors are not only time consuming, but also costly, especially for small businesses. Unfortunately, until fairly recently, most businesses had only resumes, interviews, and broad applications to screen applicants. However, many are now finding that assessment testing is helping to fill in the gaps when searching for appropriate individuals for their employee candidate pools. As an employer looking for a strong candidate to fill a particular position in your company, you need to make sure that you choose the right kind of assessment test to...
What Every Organization Ought to Know About...
Without innovative ideas, a company stagnates and may even cease to exist. In other words, innovate or die. But innovation isn't just about turning on your right brain, brainstorming, and generating a few "aha" moments. It's more than just dreaming up new ideas. Innovation is the "act of introducing something new" - with an emphasis on something new. Harvard Business School professor Clayton Christensen has a little vignette in his book The Innovator's Dilemma about how people were trying to fly in the Middle Ages by fabricating wings, strapping them onto their arms, jumping and flapping real hard. For centuries subsequent innovators framed the problem as: The guys who died just didn't flap hard...

The Wall Street Journal (10/23/06, pages B1 & B8) reports on Google revamping its hiring methods. Google is on the right track, but is sorely missing crucial pre-employment tests plus other prediction methods. Google needs a step-by-step hiring process in order to succeed to hire the best. Hiring Methods such as my "7-Step Method to Hire the Best" zooms in on predicting if an applicant has skills and talents similar to the company's high-achievers or "superstars." It is progressive: If an applicant rates high on the first prediction step, then the applicant is allowed to try the second prediction method, and so on.

The challenge and cost of employee turnover is one of the most discussed, most frustrating and most misunderstood problems businesses face. CEO's have identified employee retention as one of their key challenges in 2005. Yet organizations continue to struggle with this costly issue. The science of psychological assessments has recently advanced, allowing the development of much more predictive assessment tools. If you do not know what your employee turnover cost is, many experts agree that you can come surprisingly close to the cost of a single turnover incident by simply multiplying the annual salary for the position times 2.5 - that will cover productivity loss, recruiting and hiring cost...

They change suddenly at that moment and become a different person. Do you have saintly qualities? Are you compassionate? Are you a selfless person? Do you help others even if they do not ask you?

Introduction To Business Ethics
Is it possible for an individual with strong moral values to make ethically questionable decisions in a business setting? What affects a person's inclination to make either ethical or unethical decisions in a business organization? Although the answers to that question are not entirely clear, there appear to be three general sets of factors that influence the standards of behavior in an organization; individual factors, social factors and opportunity. Several individual factors influence the level of ethical behavior in an organization. An individual's knowledge level regarding an issue can help to determine ethical behavior. A decision maker with a greater amount of knowledge regarding an object or...
General Mental Ability – The Best Indicator...
Last week I did some online shopping. My purchase was dispatched via Courier Post for an additional $4.44. Two days after placing the order, I received a call from the supplier wanting to verify my address. The address was correct, but according to the courier company, we had moved. Another two days later I received a call from Courier Post saying the driver had gone to our address and we did not exist. After a couple of facetious comments reiterating the address given did exist, and I was sitting in the said office, they sent the package back out. Guess what, yet another call saying the driver cannot find your office!! By this time I am getting extremely vexed – How simple is it to drive to 1...
How EQ Tests Are Elaborated
EQ tests have been developed after the example of the IQ tests, being as reliable and valid as the latter ones. The manner in which the items of an EQ test are constructed closely resembles the way in which the IQ test items are contrived. Let us take an example. Imagine you are taking an ability-based EQ test. In this case you might be presented with an item like this: Two boys, Adam and Jimmy, are playing basketball in the schoolyard. They suddenly start fighting over who should get the next shot at the basket. You happen to be walking by and see them fighting. You decide to:a) Ignore them and keep walking;b) Interrupt their fighting and get them to each explain to you the rules;c) Yell at them to...

How to perform Integration Testing: This integration testing is performed mainly in two ways · Non-Incremental method and · Incremental method In Non-incremental method, we integrate all the modules at a time.

This method is preferred and is highly encouraged because it enforces a more systematic approach to software development and will improve reliability. This incremental...
Some Elements of Pre-Employment Screening That...
These days, most people in employment decision making positions take pre-employment screening seriously. They have good reason to. A number of unfortunate incidences in the recent past have shown us the type and extent of harm employing people without screening them can have on organizations. From employee-orchestrated theft incidences, to work place violence and onto unearthed cases of competitor espionage using employees as 'moles,' the kinds of nightmares proper pre-employment screening can save an organization are not things one can take lightly. But while many of us see the benefits of pre-employment screening, the one thing that tends to bother us about it is the sheer cost and effort that...

Pre Employment Test (Psychometric Test)...
Would you agree that your hiring decisions are only as sound as the facts on which they're based? The problem you have is that some experts say that over 30% of resumes are embellished and almost 70% of job applications are too. For the sake of discussion, lets suppose that you are ready to conduct a job interview and roughly half of the information you have from resumes and applications is accurate. The bigger problem is that you don't know WHICH half is the truth. Additionally, if you can't differentiate between when applicants are telling you the truth or when they are telling you what they think you want to hear, then your probability of hiring the right person will continue to diminish. That's...

Canine Bladder Stones - How to Help Your Dog
Canine bladder stones form when bacteria enters the urinary tract or if your dog is suffering from a problem that restricts the flow of urine. Bacterial infection causes inflammation of the bladder, a condition called cystitis. When the body's defense against infection, urine, loses to the colonization of the invader, bacteria, your dog's body tries to fight infection. Inflammation occurs, causing the openings in the urinary system to constrict. As stones form due to a problem with the urine, they get caught in the smaller openings. Physical issues include the pressure of the urine stream and if the urethra itself, the tube that leads urine out of the body, is in good condition. Your dog's body will...

Almost ten years ago, a group of the world's top mercury researchers announced that mercury from amalgam fillings can permanently damage the brain, kidneys, and immune system of children. Despite that discovery, many children today are still given mercury fillings by their unsuspecting parents who have not been warned about these dangers. Often dentists will assume that because the teeth may fall out in a few years, that there is no danger. Also, women who have mercury fillings in their teeth may jeopardize the health of their unborn or nursing child. Mercury poisoning is very easily passed through the blood to the child either through the uterus or breast milk. Beverly Hills dentist, Dr. Kourosh...

It has special use in multiple crown cases, whereby the patient achieves a stable bite without having to return to the office for multiple adjustments. Dr. Kourosh Maddahi, Beverly Hills Cosmetic Dentist, feels this is where cutting edge dentistry is most advanced today. He explains, “When working on a smile makeover case, I am often fitting several crowns at a time. I use the T-Scan II to digitally record the patient’s bite.

History of Drugs in Sport
The action of taking a banned substance to improve performance in sport is referred to as doping. The term dope originated from South Africa where it was used to describe a primitive alcoholic drink that was used as a stimulant at ceremonial dances.

In February 2007 Gene Morrison, a resident of Hyde, Manchester, was jailed for deceiving the UK legal system and posing as a genuine forensic scientist. In 26 years he worked on over 700 cases, all of which will now have to be reassessed as miscarriages of justice may have occurred. At this time there was no governing body to regulate the validity of forensic scientists across the UK, allowing Morrison to buy his fake qualifications from a fraudulent university. When Morrison began this facade, in 1977, he had purchased a BSc in forensic science, a Masters with Excellence in Forensic Investigation and a Doctorate in Criminology, and when asked why he had faked his qualifications in court Morrison...

Forensic mobile phone analysis was influential in February 2008 in providing linguistic evidence which contributed to the conviction of David Hodgson in the tragic murder of Jenny Nicholl. The Jenny Nicholl case highlighted how people choose their own text language "rules" - which they tend to use throughout all their messages. Each persons "text speak" differs from one and other. Forensic linguists showed that text messages sent from Jenny's phone after she went missing had a style that was more similar to that of David Hodgson. Jenny Nicholls' body was never found, but the jury accepted the prosecution's view that Hodgson had been sending texts on her mobile after her presumed death and found him...
Parents and Their Child's Privacy
When does a child's right to privacy begin and a parent's right to know end? I don't have definitive answers but I do have what I hope will be some helpful guidelines. Let's begin by looking at the opposite ends of the continuum. To begin at the beginning, you start off with an infant, who grows into toddlerhood. Your two year-old does not require, nor will he generally seek, privacy. He takes no offense when you help him dress. She is not offended when you share the bathroom. And he typically does not mind you rummaging through his things. In fact, all of this parental intrusion seems fairly normal and necessary. On the other end of the continuum, I have a 54 year-old friend whose parents are 87...

Drug abuse today is a major cause for concern and has a negative effect on society at large. Though students constitute a large segment of drug abusers, adults also succumb to drug abuse. There is a tendency amongst middle-aged people to abuse prescription drugs. The first step towards combating drug addiction is to make the abuser aware of the damage it causes the body. Most addicts lack confidence and must be taught to become a master of the situation and not a slave to addiction. There are many institutions and organizations that help drug abusers kick the habit. The support of friends and family is of prime importance. First and foremost, an abuser must be committed to giving up drugs. Doctors...

Avoiding Alcohol Related Arguments
Alcohol and arguing just do not mix. In some cases, a minor argument can escalate into something much worst. The slightest comment can set off a full-blown fight. Sometimes the fights can end badly for both. It is not uncommon for fights to erupt in the household when you live with an alcoholic. Even the sweetest person can become mean if they feel threatened in any way. The only way to avoid any arguments from escalating is to avoid any arguments or discussions when the person is under the influence. This might be hard to do, but it is something that you have to do. Making the most of a bad situation is hard to do, but you must try. You might have to walk away even though you know that you are...
What is the Legal Alcohol Limit in Your State?
What is the legal alcohol limit in your state? The answer is important, because if you're pulled over for suspicion of drunken driving and your breathalyzer test shows you to be over the legal limit, you will be arrested and charged with Driving Under the Influence or Driving While Intoxicated, both serious offenses. The higher your blood alcohol level, the more serious the charges will be against you and the greater legal penalties you may face. In the past, the legal alcohol limit varied from state to state. Today, however, it is uniform, as every state in the United States has adopted a legal limit of 0.08 percent. This means that no more than 0.08 percent of the content of your blood can have...
