Welcome to MSP’s online testing platform. Our service will help you assess test takers quickly and efficiently. It works like this. Shortly after you have completed your first order, you will get an email from us with your account login details. This consists of two sets of username and password. The first username and password is for the test administrator. It allows the administrator to monitor responses rates, print off reports and order new tests. The second username and password is to give to test takers to enable them to access a test you want them to take.

We also give you a hyperlink that you can insert in your test invitation emails to test takers which takes them straight to the online testing service removing the need for test takers to enter usernames and passwords.

When you open an account, we ask you to say how you would like feedback to be handled. The options are that reports are emailed to you, the test taker or to both of you. You can also allow the test taker to view and print off the report immediately after they have taken the test. In recruitment situations, many clients do not want the test taker to see the report until they have seen it first, but in development situations, clients often allow the test taker to see the report straightaway.

We have designed our tests to meet the standards of a modern psychometric instrument. Our Tests Catalogue gives a technical summary of the features of each test against the criteria set out by the European Federation of Professional Psychologists Associations (www.efpa.be).

You will see that key tests such as the personality, leadership and emotional intelligence assessment instruments meet the key quality standards set out in the EFPA Review Model. Test reliabilities are adequate or good, norms are based on large or very large sample sizes, and validity based on correlations between scales and marker variables, or correlations between the test and criteria, are adequate or good.

All our assessments except the Team Roles Questionnaire (TRQ) are normative instruments designed to provide comparisons between candidates. The TRQ is a semi-ipsative instrument that produces a ranking of a person’s team role preferences making it unsuitable for recruitment and selection situations where you are interested in making comparisons between candidates.

If you are new to testing, we recommend that you familiarize yourself with the International Test Commission’s guidelines on computer-based and internet-delivered testing (www.intestcom.org/itc_projects.htm). Usage of psychological testing varies from country to country and it is the responsibility of users to ensure that test administration and feedback conforms to each country's regulations and is in accordance with accepted best practice.
