Validation &
norm groups

The vision to deliver optimal quality and excellent results in all circumstances demands that Thalento® commits to a program of continued research.

This enables us to ensure the required analysis cultural adaptation of our tools and solutions and to take the needed initiative to compose sufficient reference groups in order to confirm the validity of our assessments and tests.

We share the results of our findings on validation and available norm groups, with our customers in our factsheets and technical manuals.

Validation

Validation is the degree to which the results of an assessment correlate with the actual performance and/or predicts the future performance accurately.

The Thalento® e-Assessments achieve a match of 70-80% with the actual job performance.

Thalento® commits to a continuous confirmation of the validity of all our Assessment Solutions, this by means of statistical analysis and business cases research. These are in general an analysis of the relationship between the assessment results and a representative reference group of a specific population and their ranking according to an objective performance scale.

Norm groups

An accurate and relevant assessment of personality, behaviour, motivation and performance can be attained by using an as large as possible number of reliable norm groups. Norm groups are composed of large and clearly defined reference groups that share one or more common traits (e.g. education, function, culture...).

All Thalento® norm groups are composed of sufficiently large sample groups (>400) and defined in function of a large number of traits, such as language, culture, function type, sector and education level.

Thalento® furthermore has the ability to develop and/or implement company or function specific norm groups.
