Psychological Honesty Testing (Stanton®)


 

Stanton® Survey
New Edition

The Stanton® Survey identifies applicants who are less prone to be involved in counter-productive incidents and have a higher degree of work ethic. Administration of the Survey offers a deterrent effect: applicants are told, at the point of hire, that the organization takes honesty very seriously.

The Survey provides employers with a consistent standard of hiring; especially important when several different interviewers are making the hiring decision. The Survey saves interviewer time by obtaining critical information about an applicant’s integrity with minimal interviewer work. It also halts the automatic hiring of applicants based on “gut feel” and upon subjective values such as “liking the applicant”.


Administration and Scoring Options

To accommodate specific needs, results can be provided by:

  • Fax Form Analysis

Constructs

The Survey is an 83 item pre-employment questionnaire measuring an applicant's attitudes toward integrity and workplace counter productive behavior. Information from three sub-constructs are reported as Additional Information:

  • Work Related Theft measures whether an applicant was involved in theft at previous jobs or associated with others involved in deviant behaviors. These items also measure an applicant’s views concerning theft in the workplace.
  • Non-Work Related Theft describes theft behavior unrelated to work. Individuals who display deviant behavior in situations outside the workplace are more likely to be involved in counter productive behavior at work.
  • Policy Compliance Issues examines the likelihood a person will violate company policies other than theft, such as abusing sick time and bending company rules.
  • A Credibility scale is included to monitor the applicant’s level of exaggeration.

 

Results

The applicant’s final score is reported as a percentile score. The percentile score gives the interviewer a picture of how this applicant scored as compared to other applicants who have taken the Survey. Minimum requirements are established by the client and usually range from 25 to 45 percent.

Clients may choose to receive expanded or abbreviated results. Expanded results include the applicant’s score, adjudication statement (“meets” or “does not meet” minimum company guidelines), listing of Additional Information items, and sample structured interview questions for follow up interviews. Abbreviated results indicate only if the applicant meets or does not meet minimum company guidelines.


Administration Time

When administered in a pencil and paper format, administration time is about 20 minutes. The answer sheet is faxed directly to the Stanton® Assessment Center. A result is returned by fax, or telephone call, within the same day.


Language Options

The New Edition is available in English and French.


Management Reports

Management reports are provided to the client, as requested. Standard reports identify the quantity of tests administered, by location, and the percentage of applicants who meet and do not meet the minimum guidelines. Custom reports are available.
