The Prevue Assessments

The Prevue Assessments are the cornerstone of Prevue HR Systems and are now available in English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch, Arabic, Russian and German. They were designed and developed in the early 1990s under the direction of Prof. David Bartram and Dr. Patricia Lindley. Bartram and Lindley are world leaders in the development of psychometric testing. Psychometrics is the branch of psychology concerned with the design, administration and interpretation of quantitative tests or assessments to measure variables such as intelligence, aptitude and personality traits.
