The Harrison Assessment Profile was developed by Dan Harrison. It is a fully researched, validated and proven profiling system used for recruitment and development, with a successful track record for predicting an individual's successful on-the-job performance for a given position.
The HA Profile is a website administered test that takes about 30-35 minutes to complete. Items are presented in groups of eight which the profilee must force rank in order, rather than rate. The ranking is based on actual priorities and this process prevents exaggerated ratings.

The Harrison Assessment Profile:
The HA Profile is a unique, valuable tool because it provides insight to suitability factors, clarity to understand complex human behavior and reliability for predicting an individual's performance for a particular job. The HA Profile identifies and tests 150 dimensions including personality factors and preferences related to work environment, interests and tasks. And, it has a built-in cross-referencing, ìlie-detectionî technology, with 99% accuracy.
As a result, using the HA Profile, management hiring decisions can be improved from what is often just under a 50% success rate to over well over 80%! When you consider the cost of hiring the wrong person in not only time and money, but dislocation caused inside your company, it is easy to understand why the HA Profile is so valuable.
Why the HA Profile is Better:
The HA Profile recognizes the complexity of human behavior. For example, consider the communication traits of frankness vs. diplomacy. They seem opposite, but individuals may possess preferences for each, not one or the other. And, they may have the emotional capacity to effectively decide when to use each in any given situation.
HA measures and presents these insights in clear, easy-to-understand reports that indicate an individual's normal range of behavior, and how that behavior may change under times of stress. HA is the only assessment method that harnesses the power of identifying these seemingly contradictory behaviors. Understanding these paradoxes is the key to deciphering the subtleties and complexities of personality as it relates to successful job performance.
The HA reports are written in easily understandable terms. They do not require professional interpretation, although having a trained advisor guide the process is recommended and encouraged until proficiency with the tool is achieved.
Bottom Line:
The HA Profile delivers a cost effective and time efficient solution for providing management with insight to behavioral traits that have a high correlation to actual job performance.
