“Character Is Destiny” -Heraclitus
Measure
Without Testing.
Intelligence
x Conscientiousness
= Success
What if you could put numbers to those factors?
That's what Quantitative Psychology does.
Choosing the right team is not just about finding smart, driven
people.
It's about avoiding the 10% of people who will cause 90% of your
problems.
There are personality traits of these people:
Low Agreeability
+ Low Conscientiousness
= Criminal Behavior
Low Agreeability
+ High Neuroticism
= Personality Disorders (Dangerous people)
It’s easy to deal with problematic people, if you don’t engage with
them in the first place…
This applies not just to your employees, but your consultants,
partners, investors, suppliers, etc.
Why not optimize every person your business interacts with?
There are many companies making similar promises.
Why aren’t you
using them already?
Because requiring everyone to take a test is
annoying and unrealistic.
And we all know that bad people cheat.
So how can we test people without them knowing?
Machine Learning can classify people based on their
vocabulary, their writing and speech.
Different people use different words.
Low IQ people rarely say “concomitant” or “uncorrelated”.
Low Agreeableness people rarely say “happy,” “amazing” or
“blessed”.
Artificial Intelligence analyzed thousands of
people, billions of words.
Patterns emerged.

leading Academics in Quantitative Psychology
“If you can’t put a number on it, your knowledge is of a meager and unsatisfactory kind.”
- Lord Kelvin
It is time to stop guessing.
Everyone isn’t good at everything.
Accountants make poor rock stars.
Shelf stackers make poor
CEOs.
CEOs make poor street sweepers.
There are
things you can be trained to do.
There are things you are born
to do.
Nature is 70% of outcome, nurture 30%.
Why ask
someone to do a role they will likely fail at and be unhappy in?
Do something you were born to do.
“The two most important days in your life are the day you were born and the day you find out why.”
- Mark Twain
Roles are bundles of tasks.
Established job roles usually contain similar tasks.
Why?
Why not tailor the role’s tasks to suit the strengths of the
person in it?
Remove the ones they’ll struggle with.
Give
them to better suited people.
Add tasks not traditionally
associated with the role that the person is likely to excel in.
A tailored role is one people will love.
A tailored role is destined for excellence.
A tailored
role does not exist elsewhere.
So the individual is unlikely to
leave.
Lying is bad.
Lies are a poison.
Lies harm.
Lies destroy trust.
Liars do not deserve a place in our lives.
But lying is pervasive.
Everyone lies a little.
Identifying lies has been subjective, random, difficult to measure.
However, lies have a semantic structure.
Machine
Learning can spot them in real time.
Who is lying?
To
whom?
What about?
Why?
Lies are unacceptable.
We need a Cult of Truth.
Dashboards can bring you
veracity.
Your team can run on accurate information.
Liars
can leave.
Or you can not hire them in the first place…
It is time to stop guessing.
It is time to put numbers to our hiring.
To our
management.
To our lives.
Leave subjectivity behind.
It is time to rise.
To grasp the advantages offered.
It is time, to evolve.
We’re looking forward to helping you.
