Re-Launched PsychTests.com Provides Online Testing Tools For HR, Psychologists And Academics

PsychTests.com, a leader in web-based psychological testing, announced today a re-launch of the site. The re-born PsychTests.com features a new look, an upgraded battery of 63 professionally designed tests and a powerful suite of database-driven professional applications.

Thanks to leaps in technology and the interactive, distance-crossing nature of the web, human resources departments, therapists and researchers are now looking to their computer screens for their assessment needs. With its extensive collection of tests and the innovative ARCH Profile system, PsychTests.com is at the forefront of this progressive movement towards online testing. "Aptitude and personality testing is heading in a whole new direction and PsychTests.com is right there to fill the niche," says Dr. Jerabek, the company's president and CEO. "We're pushing the envelope, exploring the full potential of testing and taking computer-assisted evaluation to entirely new levels."

PsychTests' most recognized and appreciated feature is its battery of accurate and in-depth psychological tests. These self-scoring assessment tools give users the opportunity to look into their own personality, relationships, intelligence and health habits. Sophisticated artificial intelligence methods allow for real-time scoring and provide an on-target interpretation and practical, no-nonsense advice. Large-scale validation studies ensure ever-growing precision of the tools and top-notch quality unsurpassed on the net. Some of the tests found on the site, to name but a few, are Arguing Style, Time Management, Locus of Control, Leadership and Anxiety. To see the complete collection, visit the site's test index page (https://www.queendom.com/tests/index.htm).

"Our tests are being used in a variety of settings, including academic and marketing research, human resources management and clinical practice," explains Dr. Ilona Jerabek. "People really enjoy taking them. The appeal of the tests lies in their blend of complexity, insight, and subtle humor. That's what makes the entire test-taking situation much more comfortable and enjoyable…and the results are more accurate because the test-takers are at ease."

ARCH Profile Manager is a sophisticated database system with an interactive interface that allows HR departments, psychologists and researchers to view their clients' results, in an individual or aggregated form, on a wide range of professionally developed online psychological tests. They can track progress, display graphs and organize client/employee information. Essentially, the system serves as a flexible, easy-to-use online testing center.

"Compared to traditional methods of assessment," explains Dr. Jerabek, "The system saves companies time and money, while giving them valuable insight into the aptitudes and health of employees and detecting potentially hazardous trends. ARCH Profile, for example, can help spot high potential for burnout in the workplace, so that your company can take steps to deal with the underlying causes."

On a more individual scale, counselors can use ARCH Profile as a pre-therapy assessment tool and data management system. "A client, for example, can take the Depression Inventory and give their therapist access to the results," explains Laurel Tidman, who is in charge of liaison with mental health professionals. "The Profile can be used to assess the client's needs, plan the best approach for therapy, and track progress. In essence, psychologists can build a complete profile of their clients for a fraction of the cost of paper-and-pencil testing services."
