Aptitude Diagnostics is based on current developments in personality psychology and on behavior that is specifically relevant to success. The requirements of the working world are reflected in the characteristics of the tests so that performance evaluation can be made.
If the right criteria are sought, they can be found. Some of these personality traits are more relevant to job success than others. Relevancy depends in detail on the requirements of the job, which should be identified individually.

STAR method as an interview technique
The technique I use in the competency-based interviews corresponds to the STAR method.
S – Situation
T – Task
A – Action
R – Result
Scientific studies clearly prove the effect of a potential analysis and its economic benefit: With Aptitude Diagnostics you find more productive employees.
I support companies in their selection process for personnel, and applicants in their preparation for job interviews and introductions.
