Commercial lawyers turn to psychometrics

Lawyers and financial insolvency firms in New Zealand are turning to psychometric testing to help clients cope with the global recession.
 
According to reports many of these professional partnerships and companies are now turning to psychometric testing and training to help them recognise human personalities so that they can deliver the right messages in the right way to help turn around ailing businesses.
 
Psychometric specialist Werner Naef, of New Zealand-based Kahler Communications Oceania Ltd, says that once people hit real financial pressure often they simply cannot cope.
 
Job loss, mounting debts and threat of loss of possessions creates stress problems, which can manifest themselves in dysfunctional behaviour, and their physical health may also deteriorate.
 
He went on to explain that what is happening in their personal life often spills over into the workplace so the disciplines of safety, team work, reliability and honesty all start to be effected.
 
He added that the introduction of psychometric training can help the lawyers and insolvency specialists understand their clients a lot better and with the knowledge of their personality type, they can recognise the problems, accept and understand the individual, know what motivates them and then communicate with them better.
 
This improved communication is essential when it comes to helping small and medium-sized firms through the recession.
