A Quantum Leap in Assessment TechnologyStructure of Saville Consulting Professional Styles

Saville Consulting Wave® Professional Styles measures motives, talents, preferred culture and competency potential in one dynamic online questionnaire. It is designed for use in both selection and development, transforming the assessment process with the sophisticated use of internet technology and powerful models of effectiveness in the workplace.

This comprehensive global questionnaire measures the 4 clusters, 12 sections, 36 dimensions and 108 facets of the Wave hierarchical model. Average completion time is 40 minutes.

The Saville Consulting Wave® Professional Styles development program specifically focused on creating leading edge assessments. The development approach selected items based on their measurement of work competencies and overall measures of performance and potential.

In a 2008 co-validation study, Wave Professional Styles, outperformed the OPQ32i™, NEO-PI-R™, Hogan Personality Inventory™ and 16PF5™ on both work competencies and overall global measures of performance.

For users, this higher validity enables:

  • better predictions of performance
  • a stronger return on investment
