What Is The PPA Assessment?
PPA Assessment is a scientifically validated psychometric tool by Thomas International. It measures how someone communicates, their working style and how they react under pressure – helping organisations anticipate role fit and performance.
PPA gives you the insight you cannot see during an interview – understanding how someone will act, lead and collaborate in real-life work.
The assessment is ISO-certified and registered with the British Psychological Society. Every assessment report is visual, supported with clear advice and our TMM Recruitment accredited practitioner is on-hand to explain the analysis.
