Inventory for Work Attitude & Motivation
The Inventory for Work Attitude & Motivation (iWAM) is a questionnaire used for job-related activities, such as recruitment, coaching and training projects. It is based on metaprograms, a model of cognitive thinking styles (48 parameters are measured and explained). The iWAM Management Report identifies a person’s motivational and attitude preferences in the job context and predicts how this person will behave in various job types, such as administrative, customer contact or managerial tasks. The iWAM Attitude Sorter predicts key motivational preferences and development areas. The questionnaire can be administered over the Internet or as a pen-and-paper test. The iWAM is currently available in more than 15 languages. Test administration takes 25 to 45 minutes.
iWAM is our most popular product for a reason. Not only has it been used to get great results in various HRM application domains, such as recruiting, coaching & mentoring, management and team-building, but it’s also founded on solid research. Check out our Research page to learn about the background of the test, and the thorough research that our products are based on.
What can iWAM provide for my organization?
- Efficiency: Sometimes the moment a candidate walks into the door you get this feeling that the interview might be a waste of time both for you and the candidate. Since iWAM is available on the Internet, it saves you time by testing people even before inviting them for an interview.
- Reliability: Accurate research is our priority. iWAM has been designed to eliminate test falsification, and several universities have been working with us on the validation of the tool.
- Low Cost: iWAM is available at a fraction of the cost of other evaluation models with comparable features. This is made possible by the online nature of the test and our commitment to customer satisfaction. Get the proof on our Quote.
- Speed: Why waste time with unnecessary interviews? With AMP & jobEQ, you get access to a protected online HR environment, where you can invite candidates, print an individual’s report immediately after the test was taken, and follow-up the candidates by e-mail.
Flexibility: The iWAM management report can also be used as a management and team building tool. The report indicates how persons will react as manager, in an administrative function or in a customer-oriented function. It even indicates what kind of language will motivate the person.
Value Systems Testing & Cultural Research
Cultural fit is the third pillar of jobEQ’s testing suite, and we measure it with the VSQ. The test was built on the foundation of human values and culture research.
Essentially, the VSQ measures three things:
- Value Systems:
8 patterns of value systems that help determine what decisions you make.
They determine how you see the world, what you value and how you cope with the challenges you have to face.
(based on the work of Clare W. Graves, Don Beck & Christopher Cowan) - Value Hierarchy:
A ranking of the most important values for an individual
(inspired by Nietzsche) - Social Pattern Variables:
10 patterns originally proposed by Talcott Parsons and often used in cultural and social research
(e.g. Trompenaars, Hampden-Turner, Hofstede, …)
