Reduce reliance on impression.Increase reliance on observable evidence.
In assessment, the real question is not only how to produce a result, but how to produce it consistently, fairly, explainably and in a way that fits the decision context.
The Leapers draws on relevant BPS Assessment & Development Centre principles when designing assessment and development practice, and operationalizes them through behavior-based design, structured evidence and human expertise.
Eight principles that guide the design
What decision or development need is the assessment designed to support?
Assessors record behaviour rather than vague personality impressions.
The assessment architecture is established before observing participants.
Exercises are selected according to the behaviour that needs to become visible.
Observations are recorded in structured, comparable ways.
Moderator, facilitator and assessor roles remain clearly separated where relevant.
Shared understanding of behaviour and scoring logic supports consistency.
High-impact conclusions should not be based on one isolated signal.
Good assessment should support development, not only rankings
It should not simply generate rankings.
- Decision quality
- Feedback
- Development
- Stronger organizational trust
Structured methodology can help reduce inconsistency and manage bias risk.
Assessor expertise
Our assessment approach is supported by organizational psychology expertise and assessors trained in BPS-aligned assessment practice.
