5 July 2009 Psychometric tests in diversity trainingPsychometric tests may soon be used in diversity training to establish whether a person holds discriminatory attitudes. Developed by a leading psychology firm, Implicitly involves is a series of eight tests to establish to what extent the subject is instinctively racist, sexist, homophobic or biased against disabled or old people. The tests work by presenting the sitter with a series of pictures of people, which they must match with good or bad words as they appear in quick succession. The subject's prejudices are shown by how long they take to accomplish the task correctly, and by how many mistakes they make. Implicit association tests have long been used by psychologists to gauge the associations held by individuals, but have never been adopted on a significant scale in the workplace. Dr Pete Jones, research director at Shire Professional Chartered Psychologists, which developed Implicitly, said that everybody had prejudices, or people preferences, and that being aware of them was vital for both individuals and employers. The psychometric tests can be used to good effect in a coaching or management development context and if sensitively handled could also play a role in recruitment. He added that the tests have been piloted successfully by a handful of public and private sector employers including a probation service.
