SMSI ACTS
Assessment
Benefits of Employment Testing:
1. Reduced Turnover
2. More accurate than job interviews
3. A good indicator of actual skill and job performance.
4. Less cost in terms of hiring and training new employees
The assessment services that we provide to educational institutions can be grouped into two: Educational or Intelligence; and, Behavioral or Personality, assessments.
Consultancy
SMSI’s Consultancy Service is consistent and dependent on the results of the assessments that we administer. Clients are given the date of the feedback on the day of the testing proper. Interpretations are completed in 2-4 weeks, depending on the complexity and needs of those who took the assessments. After interpretation, our consultants provide recommendations regarding the approaches to be undertaken to help the employees or students.
Assessments and recommendations are useless without implementation.
SMSI also organizes training programs, workshops and team building seminars designed to:
• Orient leaders regarding the tools and skills to perform three primary responsibilities that support their team’s growth — diagnose, coach and reinforce.
• Teach leaders how to discern escalating conflicts and minimize damage by employing the most appropriate resolutions.
• Help leaders understand what employee engagement is and create a motivating work environment that positively impacts bottom-line results.
• Help leaders formulate, implement, and evaluate sound strategic plans to achieve long-term organizational objectives.

ASSESSMENT, CONSULTANCY and TRAINING (ACT) SERVICES
Providing psychological assessments and training programs are two functions of the Human Resource Department that come in very handy in this day and age. Work values and priorities of the working populace changed. Today’s generation is no longer as committed to work as the previous ones because of so many diversions the present society offers. Companies, in order to survive, should be ready and prepared to face these changes. Unfortunately, majority of those who are working in Human Resource Departments are not adequately equipped to prevent and suppress the rise of job mismatch, job dissatisfaction and lack of proper training. With this in mind, SMSI teamed up with licensed guidance counselors, psychometricians, management gurus, communication and personal development coaches to help clients understand, educate, develop and motivate their most important asset: their workforce.
We offer this service, not only to the business sector, but also to educational institutions: because today's students are tomorrow's workforce.
Educational Assessments are tools that can help identify the underlying issues that may be preventing a person from achieving his or her scholastic potential. These tests can uncover learning disabilities, social problems and even intellectual giftedness. To wrap it up, Educational Assessments can help educators and parents alike provide the right kind of help; that, in turn, could give a student a chance to develop skills needed to lead a more successful education and productive life.
Here are some of the Educational Assessments that SMSI provides:
- CAIMI (Children’s Academic Intrinsic Motivation Inventory)
- OLSAT (Otis-Lennon School Ability Test 8th ed)
- Study Attitudes and Methods Survey
Emotions and personality play a key part in a person’s success. Hence, through Behavioral and Personality Assessments ,SMSI aims to help parents and educators understand more about their children’s behaviour and how it contributes to their education, relationships with others at school, home or the workplace. Below are some of the behavioral assessments that we administer:
- Dimensions of Self Concept
- Personality Inventory for Children
- CPPI (Children’s potential Problem Inventory)
- APPI (Adolescent Potential Problem Inventory)
Training Programs for Schools
Our consultants, since they are educators and guidance and counseling practitioners themselves, can conduct workshops and training sessions for your faculty and students. These workshops cover topics like:
- Effective interpretation of the results of educational and profiling assessments, in order to learn more about the students. This will equip educators in their goal of helping students make choices, resolve problems and learn/ change behaviors.
- Designing materials, presenting information, and engaging in discussion to aid students in making personal, social, educational and career choices; and in acquiring new competencies and skills in these areas.
- Various methods of psychological therapy which are applicable in educational settings, including Play Theraphy, Gestalt Therapy and Logotherapy.
