Sarah Linkletter is COO at EPSI, a firm it specializes in human resources, talent assessment and consulting services, and a Ph.D student at the University Of Ottawa where she also teaches organizational leadership and assessment. Assessment is a broad term that refers to the evaluation of individuals or groups based on certain criteria. Intelligence, personality, and emotional intelligence are among the most commonly evaluated areas. Intelligence assessments, also known as cognitive ability tests, measure mental abilities such as perception, learning, memory, reasoning, and judgment. Emotional intelligence tests focus on an individual's ability to recognize and understand their own emotions and the emotions of others, and to use that awareness to manage their behavior and relationships effectively. Personality assessments aim to measure an individual's characteristics, including their interests, values, and preferences, to predict how they will behave in various situations. Assessments can be used for various purposes, including in recruitment and selection, to identify areas for development, and to evaluate the effectiveness of training and development programs.
