Comparison to norm groups

Norming in psychometric assessments involves establishing a reference population to interpret test scores. This process ensures that scores are meaningful by comparing them to a standardised group. With our assessments, Sheffield can use a variety of norm groups based on a wide range of international / New Zealand population groups such as Senior Managers and Executives, Managers and Professionals, Mixed Occupational group and Graduates. These diverse norm groups help in making precise and meaningful interpretations based on assessment results, relevant to the role being considered.
