Discrimination excluded

Immigrants will get fair chances when applying for a job when using the Connector Ability intelligence test. This is shown from a study among 550 applicants for trainee positions at two large international organizations, conducted by PI Company.
When traditional intelligence test were uses, only 25% of ethnic minority candidates had a positive outcome. With deployment of the Connector Ability this number increases to 50% of the candidates. This number is almost the same as the number of native candidates to be admitted.

During the development of the Connector Ability a lot of attention was paid to ensure that differences in language and culture would have no relevant impact on the test results. Differences between candidates are therefore reduced to a minimum and focus on the real issue: differences in intelligence. The test thus corresponds perfectly with the objective: a pure measure of intelligence with a fair opportunity for everyone.

 

About Connector Ability

Connector Ability is a new, unique ability test that measures the G-factor—the “General” intelligence factor. The Connector Ability is unique in that the test is free from culture bias; it is adaptive and available online 24x7. Connector Ability can therefore be used for a quick and efficient assessment of candidates’ general intelligence level. Cognitive ability tests are proven to be the most effective predictors of success in the work context. Connector Ability does this reliably, quickly and efficiently.

The adaptive nature of the test means that the level of each question depends on the answer to the previous question. A specific assessment of the candidate’s level is made, making it very efficient in terms of time, and every candidate is presented with a unique set of questions. This test is taken online and the results are immediately available. This means the test can be administered at different locations and times, which specifically means that this can be properly carried out in situations in which different candidates from anywhere in the world can be compared.

The test provides a measurement of a candidate’s level of general intelligence without a prior need to determine the candidate’s level of education, which is only important for international comparisons due to the fact that diplomas are not always comparable. Afterwards, the score can be compared with a number of internationally standardized norm-referenced groups. The test results are well organized and are represented in a graphic summary on one page in such a way that it can be interpreted immediately.
