Scientist-Practitioner Model
At PSTC, our goal is to follow the "scientist-practitioner" model in our activities. That is, we seek to use only the most scientifically rigorous and defensible methods when solving the applied problems facing our clients.

Consistent with that goal, we rely on a team of internationally recognized experts who have received advanced training in Industrial Psychology, Psychometrics, and related disciplines, and who have each engaged in decades of applied consulting experiences.

The experts who have worked for PSTC have published numerous articles in leading professional journals, and made presentations at key professional conferences. Examples of these publications and presentations are listed below, with links to copies of the papers.

Please feel free to contact us to discuss ways in which PSTC's team of experts can help you meet your HR and assessment needs.
