Wave from Saville Assessment is the international market leader in analysing and assessing talents. It provides a holistic helicopter view that benefits agility and performance at both the individual and collective levels. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are several criteria you can use to evaluate talents, their personalities and their potential, including motivators, interests, personality traits, personal orientation, competences, personal needs and satisfaction criteria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The experts at Saville Assessment have developed a unique culturally-neutral tool which delivers unmatched reliability and success prediction in just 40 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It meets all the needs of the HR process: from preselection through integration, team dynamics and talent evaluation and development to leadership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wave distinguishes between Motivators and Talents using dynamic question that harnesses all the potential of the internet. Its unique deep dives provide answers to all the queries you need to pose about candidates in a particular scenario (specific potential, awareness, mental blockages etc).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wave explores professional Styles in four areas<\/strong><\/span>
Each area contains three factors, with each factor explored in three dimensions and each dimension in three facets. In total, Wave explores 108 facets of professional style. This pyramid model allows the Wave user to switch between a global approach to professional Style and a more detailed examination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1.Thinking<\/strong>
This area covers intellectual function: how does a person handle information, and do they use it to create ideas and evaluate situations? Wave shows whether a person is analytical or intuitive, imaginative or pragmatic, oriented towards learning and so on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Influencing<\/strong>
This are is about relationships with others: how does the person interact with others? What influence do they have on others? Wave explores sociability, communication ability, persuasiveness, decision-making propensity, leadership etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Adapting<\/strong>
This area explores the persons capacity to adapt, in three ways: adapting to change, adapting to challenging situations, and adapting to others (listening, empathy, team working).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Making things happen<\/strong>
<\/span>This area covers the tendency to take act: is the person focussed on taking action, and if so what’s their style when doing this? Wave explores in particular how conscientious the person is, their dynamism and their ways of organising.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The psychometric qualities of Wave<\/span><\/strong>
Saville Consulting’s research centre carries out regular studies on the validity and reliability of the Wave questionnaires. The results of these studies are shared in the Wave technical manual, available on demand (in English). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are the key conclusions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Validity<\/span><\/strong>
Validation of the multi-centric validation type<\/strong>
The Wave questionnaire relies on a multi-centric validation type. In this type of development, the validity of each item if the fundamental criterion for its inclusion in the questionnaire. This approach aims to optimise the questionnaire’s capacity to predict external performance criteria. It therefore addresses 36 competences fundamental to work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Validity of the construction method<\/strong>
Convergent and divergent validity demonstrate the necessary independence between the different dimensions of Wave, and a strong correlation between the results produced by Wave and by other approaches. For example, the dimension of “inventiveness” in Wave is strongly aligned with the same dimension in other tools. But it does not overlap with “abstract thinking” or other dimensions, confirming its value as a stand-alone dimension.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other validity measures have been defined, such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
