Why Choose the ESQ2

In 2001, the ESQ was one of the first commercially available pre-employment tests to use a forced-choice format. The forced-choice format gave the ESQ significant advantages over traditional assessments that include:

• Twice the predictive power
• Higher resistance to faking
• Shorter administration time

Now nearly 10 years later, with the recent release of the ESQ2, we still find ourselves in a very select group that utilizes a forced-choice format for selection tests. Why would our competitors employ an outdated method when research and client results clearly demonstrate the superiority of our approach? Simply put, it is much more statistically complex and time consuming to develop forced-choice tests that offer the same superior psychometric properties such as the ESQ2.

Fortunately, for our clients, we think it is well worth the effort to deliver the ESQ2 using the forced-choice method - it allows us to offer clients the most relevant and valid hiring tool on the market.

Simple to Use

Even the best pre-employment assessment is of no value if it increases your workload. In addition to helping you identify the best candidates, our goal with the ESQ2 is to save you time and money by simplifying your hiring process. We have accomplished this by:

• Ensuring streamlined implementation that takes hours, not weeks
• Offering a variety of efficient delivery options that range from fax-based to online scoring
• Delivering immediate results
