Abstract
The computational applications support different processes in organizations, one of these processes are those related to human resources, where one of the activities is the hiring of new personnel; the evaluation of human talent to be integrated into a company can be measured through different tests, one of which is the Terman-Merril intelligence test, which measures the intellectual quotient of candidates with a series of sub-tests. In this project, the waterfall method has been used for the development of a web computational application for the Terman-Merril intelligence test, as well as the management of the users and the results obtained to be visualized in spreadsheets for its subsequent analysis and graphing. The ASP.Net programming language and the SQL Server 2014 database have been used for the programming and the storage of information. As a result, it has been applied successfully in some companies, obtaining measurable and evaluable results on the candidates. The application has also been installed in a computer lab for students enrolled in the Bachelor of Human Resources at Faculty of Accounting and Administration at Coahuila, Mexico.
Highlights
The intelligence research is an important area of knowledge for researchers and practicing psychologists, organizations require tests to evaluate new staff and select those that get the best scores, testing in the selection process is a significant element that has aim to select the high quality personnel in the organization
Regarding the methodology to perform the research, first a detailed analysis of the requirements for the specifications of the ten series that make up the Terman-Merril Test (TMT) was carried out, the application was developed complying with all the specifications regarding required data; how to evaluate each series, time needed, and results obtained
Once the application has been implemented in the faculty repository, tests have been carried out with users-students of the Accounting and Administration faculty who are studying the Bachelor's degree in Human Resources, to whom the program is useful as a laboratory
Summary
The intelligence research is an important area of knowledge for researchers and practicing psychologists, organizations require tests to evaluate new staff and select those that get the best scores, testing in the selection process is a significant element that has aim to select the high quality personnel in the organization. The assessment of intelligence required good measurement instruments, consists of standardized questions and tools for assessing an individual potential [2]. At the present day there are various psychometric tools for intelligence measurement, one of these is the “Standard Progressive Matrices Test” (SPMT), which was developed by J.C. Raven (1939) and distributed by US Psychological Corporation, consists of abstract reasoning; puzzle solving, problem solving, learning and patterns recognized [3]. Alternative tools for measuring intellectual abilities were proposed by M.A. Kholodnaya as a development of an onthological approach to intelligence studies, these tests aim to measure categorical and conceptual abilities that underlie intellectual productivity, implies the necessity to derive a new conceptual knowledge by combining three words from completely different semantic contexts into one meaningful sentence [4]
