Why Testing-->Increase Productivity

Here is where norming your most productive employees is important. Depending upon the position you are testing for specific traits may have more importance. For example, in considering energy level, when is high energy a good thing and when is it counter productive? High energy would be a benefit if the position required physical labor, endurance and long hours. It would be counter productive to have high energy for positions that require great attention to detail and precision, like a watch maker, a diamond cutter or a bomb defuser.

Depending on the specific characteristics of the position you are screening, you will be able to identify the characteristics of highly productive employees. Hiring employees who match the profile of other highly productive employees should increase productivity and profitability.
