The Guardian asks direct admission questions concerning an applicant's history, as related to the job, regarding job-related theft, alcohol and drug usage, and provides a risk factor for the individual.

The Guardian further measures an individual's ability to perform simple math functions, i.e., addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, as may be required on the job.

In addition, the Guardian assessment measures two mental aptitudes-mental acuity and numerical perception-and the following ten personal dimensions exhibited within an individual as they relate to the job description the individual is being assessed for:

      Energy - energy and drive level; how tension and stress are handled
      Flexibility - integrity, reliability, dependability and work ethics
      Organization - ability to plan and utilize time wisely
      Communication - individual's desire to meet and interact with people
      Emotional Development - level of self-confidence and ability handle pressure
      Assertiveness - whether a person is a leader or a follower
      Competitiveness - whether a person is team-spirited or individualistically competitive
      Mental Toughness - ability to persevere and deal with obstacles in life without giving up
      Questioning/Probing - desire to ask questions and probe
Motivation - whether person is security-motivated or recognition, incentive and commission oriented

The Guardian assessment report contains the following segments:

  • The narrative segment, which briefly explains each aptitude and personality dimension that is being assessed in the report and how the individual has scored in each, compared to the job.
  • A pictorial analysis comparing the individual's actual scores to the desirable benchmarks* for the job. These benchmarks may be derived for an individual company based on their own successful people in the job, derived based on the job description, or the person can be assessed against Candidate Resources' data base of people who are successful in those jobs.
  • Behaviorally-oriented interview questions an employer can use in a second interview situation.
