1. English Proficiency Certification (CEFR)
What is it?
AveltTest is a comprehensive English certification system from AVELT-PROGRAMS INTERNATIONAL CERTIFICATION that combines an automated multilevel exam with a structured asynchronous oral interview.
What does it measure?
It measures real-world communicative proficiency across CEFR levels A1 to C2, assessing listening comprehension, grammar accuracy, reading analysis, and spontaneous speaking fluency in professional and academic contexts.
How is it measured?
Receptive skills and grammar are objectively evaluated using a 50-item, CEFR-ramped multiple-choice test. Spoken proficiency is measured through a progressive 11-question interview recorded asynchronously.
Scientific/Technical Basis
Our exam is developed grounded in the CEFR framework, Item Response Theory, Cognitive Load Theory, and the Comprehensible Output Hypothesis of Swain; the test evaluates performance through progressive tasks and an analytical diagnosis of errors.
2. DISC Behavioral Profile
What is it?
A behavioral assessment tool that analyzes how a person reacts to challenges, influences others, responds to rules, and paces their workflow.
What does it measure?
It measures four core behavioral traits: Dominance (drive and results orientation), Influence (persuasion and communication), Steadiness (consistency and patience), and Compliance (accuracy and attention to detail).
How is it measured?
Evaluated through an ipsative (forced-choice) questionnaire where the candidate must choose the word or phrase that most and least describes their typical behavior in a workplace environment.
Scientific/Technical Basis
Our exam is developed based on the emotional and behavioral theories developed by Dr. William Moulton Marston (1928), widely validated in corporate environments for team building and leadership profiling.
3. Big Five Personality Inventory (OCEAN)
What is it?
The most scientifically validated and reliable psychological inventory used globally to construct a comprehensive profile of human personality.
What does it measure?
It measures the five broad dimensions of personality: Openness to experience, Conscientiousness (work ethic), Extraversion, Agreeableness, and Neuroticism (emotional stability under stress).
How is it measured?
Assessed through a comprehensive questionnaire using a Likert scale (ranging from strongly disagree to strongly agree), designed to capture nuanced self-reported behavioral tendencies.
Scientific/Technical Basis
Our exam is developed based on the Five-Factor Model (FFM) developed by researchers like Costa & McCrae. It is considered the gold standard in academic psychology and predictive occupational success.
4. Cognitive Agility & Logic
What is it?
A cognitive ability test designed to measure a candidate’s general fluid intelligence, learning speed, and problem-solving capabilities.
What does it measure?
It evaluates spatial reasoning, mathematical logic, vocabulary, and the ability to process complex information rapidly.
How is it measured?
Administered as a strictly timed online assessment (typically 12 to 15 minutes) featuring a mix of mathematical, logical, and verbal puzzles that increase in difficulty.
Scientific/Technical Basis
Our exam is developed and inspired based on the methodology of the Wonderlic Personnel Test and theories of General Intelligence (the "g" factor) by Charles Spearman, highly predictive of training success and job performance.
5. Integrity & Probity Assessment (SJT)
What is it?
A risk mitigation tool designed to identify candidates who may engage in counterproductive or unethical workplace behaviors.
What does it measure?
It measures honesty, tolerance for rule-breaking, attitude towards theft or fraud, handling of confidential information, and general corporate transparency.
How is it measured?
Utilizes a Situational Judgment Test (SJT) methodology. Candidates are presented with realistic workplace dilemmas and must select the most appropriate response from multiple choices. It includes an embedded lie scale to detect socially desirable answering.
Scientific/Technical Basis
Our exam is developed based on overt and personality-based integrity testing models validated by industrial-organizational psychology to predict counterproductive work behaviors (CWB).
6. Strategic Critical Thinking
What is it?
An analytical assessment that determines a candidate’s ability to conceptualize, apply, analyze, and evaluate information objectively.
What does it measure?
It measures the ability to recognize assumptions, evaluate arguments, draw logical deductions, and separate factual data from cognitive biases.
How is it measured?
Candidates read short, complex scenarios or statements and must answer questions that require strict logical deduction without relying on prior outside knowledge.
Scientific/Technical Basis
Our exam is developed grounded in the Watson-Glaser Critical Thinking Appraisal methodology, widely recognized as a top predictor of success in executive, legal, and strategic roles.
7. Emotional Intelligence (EQ)
What is it?
An evaluation of a candidate’s emotional quotient, crucial for modern leadership, conflict resolution, and team management.
What does it measure?
It measures self-awareness, self-regulation, intrinsic motivation, empathy, and social skills in professional contexts.
How is it measured?
Measured via self-reporting and situational scenarios where the candidate must identify the best emotional response to a high-stress or sensitive workplace situation.
Scientific/Technical Basis
Our exam is developed based on the theoretical frameworks of Daniel Goleman and Mayer-Salovey-Caruso, proving that EQ is often a stronger predictor of leadership success than traditional IQ.
8. Microsoft Excel Technical Proficiency
What is it?
A practical, hands-on evaluation of a candidate’s true capabilities using spreadsheet software, moving beyond self-reported CV skills.
What does it measure?
It categorizes the user into Basic, Intermediate, Advanced, or Expert. It measures data manipulation, formula application (VLOOKUP, IF statements), pivot tables, data visualization, and macro awareness.
How is it measured?
Candidates must solve interactive, simulated spreadsheet problems or answer highly specific technical multiple-choice questions within a strict time limit.
Scientific/Technical Basis
Our exam is developed in accordance with the official Microsoft Office Specialist (MOS) certification standards and real-world corporate data-analysis requirements.
Reliability and Scientific Validity Statement
Avelt Programs LLC. – Talent Acquisition Platform
At Avelt Programs, we understand that high-level corporate and public hiring decisions require objective, secure, and bias-free data. Therefore, our assessment platform Avelt Test has been developed under the strictest standards of psychometrics, methodological integrity, and legal compliance.
Our statement of reliability is built upon three fundamental pillars:
1. International Scientific Foundation
Our assessment instruments do not operate under experimental or unvalidated methodologies. The architecture of our testing suite is grounded in public domain and academic theoretical frameworks, considered the gold standard in industrial and organizational psychology:
- Five-Factor Model (Big Five / OCEAN): Backed by decades of academic research as the most accurate predictor of personality in the workplace.
- DISC Behavioral Theory: Based on the foundational work of William Moulton Marston for predicting interpersonal behavior and leadership styles.
- General Intelligence ("g" Factor): Utilizing models of cognitive agility and problem-solving under pressure to evaluate fluid intelligence.
- Situational Judgment Test (SJT): A highly validated methodology for the objective measurement of risk, probity, and emotional intelligence (EQ) in real-world corporate environments.
2. Intellectual Property and Proprietary Item Bank
In strict compliance with international Copyright and Intellectual Property laws, Avelt Programs DOES NOT use, reproduce, or distribute questions, manuals, or test items belonging to third parties or registered trademarks.
We have developed a Proprietary Item Bank. This means that while our assessments measure the exact same scientifically validated psychological and cognitive constructs (such as assertiveness, mathematical logic, or spatial comprehension), the questions, scenarios, problems, and scoring algorithms have been created 100% originally and exclusively by our team of specialists.
3. Uncompromised Security and Process Integrity (Anti-Fraud)
The development of our own exclusive question bank provides us with our greatest competitive and security advantage for our corporate clients: the impossibility of fraud.
- Unlike traditional standardized tests whose answers have been leaked and can easily be found online (search engines, forums, or videos), Avelt Test items are unpublished and dynamic.
- We guarantee consultancies, Headhunters, and Human Resources departments that candidates cannot prepare, memorize, or search for the correct answers externally.
- This, combined with our strict time limits and item-randomization algorithms, ensures that the Comprehensive Executive Report reflects with absolute authenticity the true level, ethics, and capability of the assessed talent.
Our Commitment
Avelt Programs is committed to the continuous updating of its algorithms and databases, ensuring that our assessment suite provides predictive, legally secure, and methodologically flawless metrics to mitigate hiring risks in your organization.
