Introduction |
| e-bilities offers new generation testing of mental abilities that are important to learning, achievement and vocational direction. e-bilities provides quick, convenient and cost effective educational testing based on contemporary theory and research into mental abilities.
|
Contemporary Theory
In contrast to many tests available to education professionals, e-bilities is based on contemporary theory and research |
 |
-
Many tests in use today are based on outdated models of intellectual functioning. In contrast, e-bilities is based on the Cattell-Horn-Carroll model, and educators can be confident that the tests are both scientifically sound and up to date.
-
e-bilities includes tests of raw, untutored thinking or fluid ability which is a key determinant of how fast a student learns and deals with novel problems.
-
e-bilities can be used to profile a student's intellectual strengths and weaknesses to help identify learning issues or to assist in career planning.

Time efficient testing
With the e-bilities testing system, assessment of intellectual functioning is no longer a time consuming process! |
 |
-
Education professionals can now achieve more in less time.
-
e-bilities is a "new generation" assessment tool - fully automated testing can be conducted for individuals or groups across multiple sites. Results are immediately available for review, report writing and any follow up testing.
-
For the gma series of tests, at the click of a button, an estimate of general mental ability is automatically derived as part of the scoring process from a weighted combination of the component mental abilities.

When it comes to hiring or promoting someone, their general mental ability or "intelligence" is a must know piece of information. It is the best indicator we have for how well a person will do a job - any job! People who are higher in general mental ability acquire more job related knowledge and acquire it faster.
Even apparently intellectually undemanding roles involve a surprisingly high amount of job-specific information. General mental ability positively impacts on job performance in these positions as well.
For employers and recruiters, e-bilities simplifies general mental ability testing, making it more accessible and affordable, especially for large-scale recruitment testing. |

"Intelligence" is more than how much a person knows and how good they are at solving problems. Smart people recognize the limits of their ability. They know what they know, and know what they don't know. They recognize when they need to seek advice.
In contrast, people who don't know what they don't know are poor judges of their knowledge and problem-solving abilities. They put forward solutions and take action with supreme (misplaced) confidence in their ability.
e-bilities is the only cogntive ability testing system that enables employers and recruiters to quickly determine if their job applicants are:
Over-confident - often wrong but always ready to put forward a solution to a problem with great faith in their judgement, or
Under-confident - cautious in trusting their ability, or
Well-calibrated - demonstrating a very realistic understanding of their cognitive abilities. |

Screening for entry level and professional positions
The gma-2™ battery is an easy way to measure general mental ability in the early stage of any recruitment project. Tests of raw thinking power and numerical ability take only 15 minutes to complete. The gma-2™ is available in English, Mandarin, Indonesian, Korean, Malay, Thai and Vietnamese, and can be taken in-office or at-home at a time and place that suits the test taker. |

In-depth testing of professional level staff
The gma-5™ battery was designed for more comprehensive in-office testing. It provides a way to compare and contrast the cognitive strengths and weaknesses of job applicants. The results include a general mental ability score and a profile of a test-taker's abilities in novel problem solving, word knowledge and quantitative skills. The gma-5™ also pinpoints if a test-taker is over-confident, under-confident or well-calibrated when it comes to judging their cognitive ability. |

|
Executive level and banking industry testing
The gma-f™ battery was specifically designed for use in the financial arena - it includes tests of memory, numerical ability and financial reasoning. The gma-f™ will be of particular interest to people involved in hiring and training novice traders. Research has shown that novice traders with higher gma scores not only understand the operation of the financial markets, but they make more money as well!
