Whether you aim for further education, improved job prospects, or expanded knowledge, this comprehensive course allows you to prepare thoroughly for exams or careers through home study. Plus, it’s structured to be accessible and beneficial even if you have no prior knowledge in Personality Profiling and Psychometrics for Managers.
Psychometrics, the science of measuring people’s aptitudes and personality traits, has become increasingly integral in organisational settings, particularly in staff selection and development. However, its usage often raises questions among managers, with some finding it fascinating while others remain skeptical. The challenge lies in distinguishing well-established tests with robust statistical foundations from those heavily marketed as commercial products. For managers, who are typically tasked with staff-related decisions but may lack a background in human resources or psychometrics, navigating this landscape can be daunting. This course aims to bridge that gap by offering a comprehensive understanding of personality testing and its underlying theories, empowering managers to make informed decisions.
Designed specifically for managers responsible for staff selection and development, regardless of their HR background, this Certificate course provides a deep dive into personality testing and its ethical implications. It equips participants with the knowledge to discern the range and types of measures available, ensuring they can utilise them effectively while adhering to ethical standards. While the course touches on ability and aptitude testing, its primary focus remains on personality measures, aligning with the needs of managers seeking to enhance their understanding in this domain.
Moreover, the course serves as a stepping stone for individuals considering further qualifications, such as the British Psychological Society-approved Level A and B Certificates in Occupational Assessment, prerequisites for many psychometric tests. By providing foundational knowledge and insights, this course prepares participants for more intensive certification programs, enabling them to delve deeper into the field of psychometrics. Additionally, it offers guidance for those interested in becoming accredited assessors for various commercially provided tests, facilitating informed decision-making regarding career advancement in this area.
The course adopts an “Action Learning” approach, integrating short exercises throughout the modules to reinforce learning. Each module concludes with an assignment, allowing participants to apply their newfound knowledge in practical scenarios. While the course does not carry recognition from specific suppliers or accreditors of psychometric tests, it offers a comprehensive and independent review of the subject tailored to the needs of managers. Overall, it empowers managers to navigate the complexities of personality testing with confidence, enhancing their ability to make strategic decisions in staff selection and development.
Course Key Topics
the Personality Profiling and Psychometrics for Managers (Level 3) course is divided into 5 modules.
Module 1: An Overview for Managers of the Nature, Purpose and Use of Psychometric Testing
This module defines psychometrics, and discusses various attitudes to personality profiling. It briefly introduces ability and aptitude testing in relation to intelligence tests. Emotional Intelligence is also mentioned in the overall context. The course defines personality at this stage.
There is a major section on the importance of ensuring that tests are reliable and valid, to address any doubts about their use. The pitfalls of testing, and scope to “cheat” are also addressed. The use of psychometric tests is justified in comparison with other common selection methods e.g. interviewing. The Module considers the issue of measuring the “value added” by using personality tests. Advice is given on general principles to be followed in the choice of test.
Module 2: The Theoretical Background to Psychometric Testing – An Introduction to Personality Testing for Managers
Module Two aims to summarise from personality theory, a complex and fascinating subject, the key points which it is useful for a manager to know when dealing with psychometrics. The level covers in outline to what a non-psychologist would need to know to qualify in e.g. Level B Occupational Assessment.
The module approaches personality theory under the categories of different theories e.g. physical, psycho-analytical or social learning theory. The aim is to explain these, and highlight their relevance, in an interesting and accessible way. The Module concludes with an introduction to the trait-based model of personality, which is of great importance in personality testing. This is the focus of attention in Module 3. There is also an initial consideration of personality type theories, with an emphasis on personality type indicator tests forming the basis of Module 4. Module 2 concludes with an introduction to “The Big Five”, a model which identifies five over-arching factors of personality e.g. Extraversion and Conformity.
Module 3: The Interpretation and Use of Trait-Based Tests with Focus on 15FQ+
Module 3 takes the student through the process of administering and scoring a typical test, with an emphasis on good practice and an ethical approach. Although it provides a brief comparison of the 16 PF, 15FQ+ and OPP tests, the focus is on the 15FQ+ purely in order to provide specific examples to explain points. The course emphasises the importance of corroborating tendencies indicated by a test e.g. the need to obtain evidence from the respondent to support a high score for Introversion or Social Boldness.
The module concludes with a discussion of the use of trait-based tests, both in terms of their limitations, and as predictors of job performance.
Great care is taken throughout not to promote any particular test, nor to include negative assessments. Students are advised to consult the British Psychological Society if in doubt.
Module 4: The Interpretation and Use of Type Indicator Tests with Focus on the Jung Type Indicator (JTI) and Myers-Briggs MBTI
Starting with a definition of type indicator tests, the course moves on to expand on the theories behind these, building on information covered in Module 2. Brief explanations of test questionnaire design, scoring and interpretation are provided. A major section is included on the 16 personality types developed from the work of Jung. The Module also explains the difference between Myers-Briggs/JTI and Keirsey’s Temperament Sorter. It concludes with an evaluation of type indicator tests with reference to e.g. the Forer Effect, or tendency of people to rate statements as highly accurate descriptors of themselves, when they could equally apply to others. The Assignment provides an opportunity for students to take a type indicator test and discuss the results with their tutor (a qualified assessor). There will be an extra charge to cover the cost of the purchase of the test and scoring procedure.
Module 5: A Review of the Use of Additional “Tools” for Personality Profiling
This module encourages the student to digest information from previous sections, by stressing the basic pattern for trait-based testing to be most suitable for staff selection, whereas type indicator tests are more appropriate for staff development.
The main body of the Module presents a review of a selection of widely-known tools in current use, categorised as: measures of values, preferences, interests and styles e.g. OIP+, VMI and California Personality Inventory (CPI); tools suited to staff development, team-building and constructive working relationships e.g. The SDI, Margerison-McCann Work Wheel; “instruments” designed to meet new developments e.g. for 360 degree appraisal. The student should not attach any significance to the omission of any test from the large number available.
The underlying aim is to enable students to adopt a suitably judicious approach to “tools”, many of which are strongly promoted commercial products but which vary considerably in the extent to which they are “statistically valid”. As already stated, this unit does not favour or reject any specific test. It makes the point that, even if a measure if relatively new and does not have a generally accepted robust theoretical basis, it may have a useful part to play in staff development and team building.

Career Profile - Product Manager
Career Profile
Requiring knowledge of business, marketing, data analysis and technology, plus excellent communication and organisational skill, product management is rewarding yet challenging work
A product manager works with the people who make a product, those who use the product and those who manage the business to ensure that the product is meeting everyone’s needs.
You will find opportunities at any company which makes a product of some kind. Usually, this refers to:
* technical products, such as programmes, apps and video games
* financial products, such as credit cards, mortgages and savings accounts
* manufactured products, such as appliances, pharmaceuticals and toys.
Product managers help to ensure that the product is made as efficiently as possible and that the people building it have access to the latest technologies and techniques. They also listen to the users of the product, finding out what new features they want before gathering and analysing their feedback and usage data. This helps them to make decisions about the future of the product – what will and won’t be possible, which features to prioritise or to drop altogether and produce product roadmaps.
They’re also responsible for the life cycle of the product, ensuring that everyone is following the product roadmap and that features are being released on time and are of a high quality.
In your role, you may focus mostly on the users of your product, sometimes referred to as product marketing, or on the creation of the product itself, known as product development.
You could manage one or two parts of a product. For example, your product may just be the search feature of a website, rather than the site as a whole.
Responsibilities
As a Product Manager, you’ll need to:
* taking overall responsibility for the success of your product
* contributing towards product strategy and vision
* meeting regularly with all stakeholders, including product developers, marketing, customer service, finance and company heads
* collecting analysing and responding to user feedback
* managing one or more budgets
* gathering and evaluating ideas and opinions
* planning new features and changes to a product
* demonstrating new ideas and features to stakeholders
* creating timelines and roadmaps for developing the product
* attending conferences and events related to a product or sector
* implementing or supporting marketing campaigns
* creating and overseeing development and project management processes
* inspiring and enthusing colleagues and users of the product
* learning about users and a product’s market
* researching competitors and similar products.
Salary
* Starting salaries for junior product managers can range between £25,000 and £40,000.
* With experience, when working as a product manager, salaries can range from £50,000 to £80,000.
* Senior product managers can earn up to £90,000 to £100,000. At head of product and vice presidents (VP) levels, salaries can be even higher at over £110,000.
Salaries can vary significantly depending on the industry you’re based in, the size of the product you’re responsible for and your employer.
Product management roles often include share options and bonus schemes.
Income figures are intended as a guide only.
Working Hours
Working hours are usually 9am to 5pm and usually in the head office of an organisation. You may need to work outside of these times if your company has offices in other time zones as regular meetings and communication with all stakeholders is an essential aspect of the role.
Some companies may expect longer working hours to finish a project, such as a new feature launch. Time off in lieu is more common than paid overtime as compensation for work outside of your regular hours.
Part-time and temporary contracts are rare for product management positions and are more likely if you manage one aspect of a larger product.
What to expect
* You’ll have a lot of responsibility, especially if your company relies on the success of the product you manage. You will sometimes have to make difficult decisions about the future of the product.
* The role will be mainly office based but, depending on the geographical spread of the organisation, you may need to travel regularly to meet with all the people who contribute to the product.
* Your dress code will depend on the organisation you work for, though you will have regular meetings with very senior colleagues, including company heads, so formal business attire is expected.
* There can be competition for product manager roles as companies tend to employ relatively few, sometimes just one.
* The broad range of skills required does mean that you’ll almost certainly need around two years of relevant work experience to be considered for a product manager position.
Skills
You’ll need to have:
* knowledgeable about your product’s users and industry
* decisive, visionary and able to support your decisions with research
* flexible, as you’ll be working in-depth with different business functions
* a good collaborator, leader and diplomat
* organised and able to work to deadlines and roadmaps
* a very strong and clear communicator, with a variety of stakeholders at different levels of seniority and knowledge
* good at persuasion and negotiation
* able to analyse complex data and look for trends in the market and users’ opinions and behaviour
* fair and objective when making decisions.
Career prospects
At a large employer, you’ll usually start your product management career as part of a product team, with either shared responsibility for a product, sole responsibility for one aspect of it or focusing on one part of product management such as marketing or development.
Early in your career it’s unlikely that you’ll be the only product manager in an organisation unless they are a very small company, you have significant prior experience or come highly recommended by someone they trust.
After around five years you may find that you are ready to manage a small product team or move to being a loan product manager with more responsibility. You may need to complete some management training at this stage. Product team leaders will usually have job titles like senior product manager, product owner or head of product. If you’re managing staff, you’ll find that you have more input into the product strategy but some of your time will also be dedicated to line management duties.
After around ten years’ working in product management you may be in a position to look for work at an executive or board level, in roles such as vice president (VP) of product, chief operating officer, chief marketing officer or chief technology officer.
The broad range of duties in product management means that moving between different job functions is an option even at a senior level. You’re also equipped with most of the knowledge and skills needed to start your own business, which is also an option for experienced product managers.

Grading & How it Works
The UK has a unique higher education grading system. Its most unique feature compared to traditional grading systems is that it aims to be more specific in describing students’ academic achievement.
This type of assessment method is highly valued because it offers many advantages. Most importantly it highlights your academic strengths and specific skills, therefore, it helps employers gain a better understanding of your true potential.
Since it is proved to be such an efficient tool to assess students’ performance, many foreign countries like Canada, Australia and India are using the same grading system on some occasions with small changes to fit into their own local educational context.
We use a letter grade scale from A to F to indicate the students’ academic performance. If you get an A it means you have shown outstanding knowledge whereas if you get an F it means your score is not sufficient to pass the exam.
