Showroom staff can now have their mental abilities assessed by a new psychometric test offered online.

PHP Ltd, an automotive training company, has launched the testing service in order to give sales managers an in-depth profile of their staff's behavioural and selling style.

Rob Purfield, PHP director says: “The system highlights specific sales and management strengths and weaknesses”.

Psychometric testing at PHP, he said, had enabled the company to “build a team whose skills and personalities complement each other and, by gaining an understanding of how best to work with our colleagues, we always get the very best from each other”.

Psychometric tests can be purchased from the website, www.phpltd.co.uk for more information, with prices ranging from £99 to £139. Tests are available on topics such as effective selling, interview, management, and personal achievement.
