In a world where understanding personality and behaviour is paramount for people and teams to thrive, the demand for psychometric tools that are both practical and scientifically sound has never been higher. The British Psychological Society (BPS), the UK's leading accrediting body for psychology, ensures only the most scientifically robust tools are endorsed for professional use. Earning the BPS Registered Test award is a mark of excellence, signifying a tool meets the highest standards of reliability, validity, and accessibility.

Mindflick's psychometric engine, 'Spotlight' , has achieved this prestigious status. This accomplishment places Spotlight among a select few tools that have met the BPS's rigorous criteria, solidifying its position as a gold standard in the field.

Excellence in Psychometric Testing

For Spotlight to be awarded BPS Registered Test status, it had to be independently reviewed by the BPS’s psychometric experts, and audited against the technical criteria established by the European Standing Committee on Tests and Testing (CTT) of the European Federation of Psychologists’ Associations (EFPA). This audit confirms Spotlight adheres to international standards, enhancing its credibility across Europe and beyond.

Selecting a Personality Psychometric Tool

When deciding on which psychometric tool is best suited for you or your business, it is important to evaluate tools on both their usability and scientific rigour. Many tools on the market, even some of the most popular ones, fail to meet high standards on both, contributing to short-lived value and scepticism among users. The BPS Registered Test award serves as a beacon of trust, assuring users the tool has undergone thorough evaluation and meets the highest benchmarks of quality.

Instilling confidence and trust

For practitioners and users, Spotlight's BPS accreditation offers immense confidence. It confirms the tool is scientifically robust and effective in practical application. All technical analyses demonstrating Spotlight's reliability, validity and accessibility are transparently documented in the Spotlight Technical Manual, reinforcing trust and facilitating informed use. All BPS Registered Test reviews are also published online on the BPS website, which enables users to check if a test has been endorsed as a BPS Registered Test.
