LPA™
A computerised 'expert' psychometric assessment system
6 assessments cover 29 characteristics - key areas that condition how executives function as members of a management team
Integrated battery of questionnaires - the LPA™ Questionnaire or LPQ™ - with a program that looks across the whole range of scores, not just at each set of results in isolation

The LPA™ Approach
Multiple assessment instruments which enable you to relate personality characteristics to the realities of the working environment
A program that helps you to identify links between all the assessments, relating these to the specific circumstances that apply to candidates
Feedback, either face to face or online using Skype™ and GoToMeeting™, to place results in their proper perspective

The LPA™ Approach
A range of text reports based on combinations of scores from across all the instruments, written in plain English (or translated). Designed to interpret the results in a way that candidates can easily understand and relate to their particular working environment
Powerful management utilities to enable you to take full control of the assessment data and to apply it to real-world management issues

The LPA™ Program Plots the results of each assessment graphically using a Stanine (1 to
9) scale
Requires the counsellor to work with the candidate to interpret each set of scores
and
To look across the range of scores to identify ‘clusters’ or groups of scores that either conform to expected patterns, or provide evidence of unusual groups of characteristics
Score patterns that are frequently encountered are presented as Management Themes

The LPA™ Program The LPA™ program offers powerful, statistically-based utilities to
facilitate the feedback process. For example:
LPA™ identifies any unusual score patterns and alerts the counsellor to these
LPA™ also enables you to translate client competencies into psychometric profiles - either directly or in response to the built-in Factor Analysis on the Statistics Menu. These become customised Management Themes
LPA™ also allows you to integrate the results from the MCPA™ measure of capability
