Niche norms for tests

At Niche we have developed many of our own Australasian norms to assist in the interpretation of the assessments we recommend.

Having good norm and appropriate comparison groups helps our clients understand where applicants or incumbents stand compared to others in similar roles or professions.  Most of the tests Niche Consulting recommends have both general population norms and business norms available.

These psychometric assessment norms are split into specialised job groups and different levels, as listed in the below table. We have the expertise to build psychometric assessment norms for our clients.
