Episode notes
In this episode, Dr Mark Bawden, Dr Pete Lindsay and Sir Andrew Strauss explore the evolution of psychometrics, from traditional personality profiling to a new approach: performance psychometrics.
They unpack why most psychometric tools stop at self-awareness, and why that falls short in today’s fast-moving, AI-driven world.
Instead, they introduce a more practical approach focused on turning insight into action by embedding better teamwork, communication and decision-making into everyday work.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- Why self-awareness alone doesn’t drive performance
- What a “performance psychometric” actually is
- Why teams are the real unit of performance
