The Psychometric module in LMS+ provides organisations with structured assessment tools to better understand learner abilities, behaviour, and language proficiency. These assessments help managers make informed training and development decisions based on individual results.
Alison offers three types of psychometric assessments:
Aptitude Test – Measures verbal, numerical, and abstract reasoning skills. Results highlight cognitive strengths and development areas, with recommended learning resources aligned to weaker areas.
Workplace Personality Assessment (WPA) – Based on a DISC-style behavioural framework. Evaluates communication style, teamwork, leadership, and stress response. Results provide a full behavioural profile with suggested development courses.
English Language Test – Aligned with the CEFR framework (A1–C2). Assesses reading, writing, grammar, and comprehension, with a CEFR level and recommended learning pathways.

Psychometric assessments are available only on selected LMS+ plans (Growth and Enterprise).
The number of tests you can assign depends on your subscription:
Growth Plan: 180 tests/month
Enterprise Plan: 600 tests/month
These limits reset at the start of each billing cycle. If you upgrade your plan, the new allocation is applied immediately, and resets on your next billing date.
If you reach your monthly limit:
You will receive an in-platform notification
You can upgrade your plan for additional capacity
Or wait until the next billing cycle reset
How test results work
How test results work
Each learner can take each psychometric test once only.
Once completed:
Results are permanently stored on the learner’s profile
Results remain available to Super Admins, Admins, and Group Managers (within their access scope)
All-time statistics are cumulative and do not reset with billing cycles
Monthly test allocations reset, but learner results remain unchanged
Reassignment or retesting functionality is not currently available but may be introduced in future updates.
Viewing results and assigning courses
Viewing results and assigning courses
After a learner completes a psychometric assessment, you can view their results and assign relevant courses based on their performance.
You can do this in two ways:
From the Manage Psychometrics Suite, by selecting a test and using the Assign Course option
From the learner’s profile under the Psychometrics tab, using the “Help [Learner Name]” section and selecting courses via the + icon
This allows managers to directly link learning recommendations to assessment outcomes.
Important rules and behaviour
Once a psychometric test is assigned to a learner:
It remains permanently on their profile, even if they do not complete it
It is not removed if the learner is deactivated or removed from a group
It does not return to your available test balance
This ensures consistent tracking and maintains accurate historical records of all assessments.
