Psychometric consultancy for traditional and AI-enabled assessment

AI Psychometric Consultancy

Psychometric assessment design, validation and consultancy for organisations, assessment publishers, employers and technology providers.

Rob Williams Assessment combines traditional psychometric expertise with AI assessment innovation — helping organisations design, validate, review and modernise assessments for hiring, development, leadership, workforce capability and responsible AI use.

Psychometric Consultancy for a Changing Assessment Landscape

Assessment is changing quickly. Employers still need valid, fair and reliable psychometric tools, but they also need to understand how AI affects hiring, development, workforce capability and assessment governance.

RWA provides independent psychometric consultancy across both traditional assessment design and newer AI-enabled assessment projects. This includes situational judgement tests, aptitude tests, personality questionnaires, assessment centres, validation studies, AI capability diagnostics and AI hiring defensibility reviews.

Traditional psychometrics

Bespoke test design, SJT development, validation, norming, reporting and assessment review.

AI assessment innovation

AI capability, AI judgement, leadership AI proficiency and workforce AI readiness diagnostics.

Assessment governance

Independent review of fairness, validity, explainability, defensibility and responsible AI use in assessment.

What Is AI Psychometric Consultancy?

AI psychometric consultancy combines established assessment science with the new measurement challenges created by AI-enabled work and AI-enabled hiring.

It helps organisations answer two connected questions: how do we design better assessments for today’s workforce, and how do we assess the human capabilities needed to use AI responsibly at work?

In simple terms: traditional psychometrics helps measure people fairly and validly. AI psychometric consultancy applies those principles to AI-enabled work, AI-enabled assessment and AI governance.

Why Organisations Use Psychometric Consultants

Organisations use psychometric consultants when assessment decisions matter and internal teams need specialist design, validation or review expertise.

Creating new assessments

Design role-relevant tests, exercises, simulations and scoring models from a clear construct framework.

Reviewing assessment quality

Evaluate whether existing assessments are valid, fair, reliable, appropriate and fit for purpose.

Validating assessment use

Build evidence for interpretation, scoring, cut scores, reporting and decision-making.

Selecting assessment providers

Review supplier claims, technical quality, adverse impact evidence and fit with role requirements.

Introducing AI into assessment

Understand where AI changes assessment design, candidate behaviour, scoring, reporting or governance risk.

Responding to governance concerns

Strengthen defensibility when assessment decisions affect hiring, promotion, development or access.

Traditional Psychometric Consultancy Projects

RWA’s consultancy work is grounded in traditional psychometric assessment design as well as newer AI-enabled assessment innovation.

Situational Judgement Test Design

Design SJTs for graduate recruitment, management assessment, leadership assessment, professional services, public sector and role-specific judgement contexts.

Norm Development

Create comparison groups, percentile-style interpretation frameworks and reporting logic for candidate and organisational outputs.

Adverse Impact Analysis

Review subgroup outcomes, fairness risk, decision thresholds and potential adverse impact in selection processes.

AI Assessment Consultancy

AI assessment consultancy helps organisations measure the human capabilities required for responsible AI use: judgement, evidence evaluation, oversight, escalation, accountability and governance awareness.

RWA’s AI assessment work connects directly with the latest product suite: AI Assessment Services, AI Capability Assessment, AI Judgement Assessment and Leadership AI Assessment.

AI-Enabled Assessment Design

Design scenario-based assessments where AI is embedded into work-relevant decisions and professional judgement tasks.

AI Literacy for Organisations

AI Literacy Skills Training for Schools
