Alan presented to a large group of psychologists and assessment experts from across the Asia Pacific region on the topic of “using personality tasks to boost the validity of assessment centers”. The presentation covered issues such as increasing the efficiency and accuracy of Assessment or Development Centers, utilizing technology in assessments and directly measuring personality instead of relying on self-report questionnaires. The session included the video and sound person completing a live personality task on stage – not what he thought he was going to be doing that day when he got up in the morning! There was considerable interest from conference delegates from China, Japan, Taiwan and Singapore.
