TMA Assessment

TMA stands for Talents and Motivation Analysis. The TMA method consists of an extensive competence analysis (the test measures 22 drivers and 44 talents), Cognitive Capacities (MBO / HBO / WO), Occupational and Activities Interest Analyzes (MBO / HBO) and an Intake.

Based on the combination of the outcomes of these components, an estimate is made for:

Selection and assessment of employees

Study choice trajectories and career choice issues

Reintegration and Retraining programs

 

Purpose of the TMA Assessment

TMA gives you insight into talents, motivations and thus your motivation. TMA helps people discover and develop their talents so that they become more effective and happier at work.
It gives you insight into which talents and competencies you can further develop. TMA provides insight into the most suitable role, position or work in which you can use your talents.

Components TMA Assessment

In addition to the comprehensive competence analysis, the TMA assessment also includes the Cognitive Capacities component (if applicable). By this we mean the innate cognitive abilities. The analysis consists of 5 subtests that must be made within a certain time; logical figurative insight, logical numerical insight, logical language insight, technical insight (if applicable), calculation and checking.

The Intake consists of a number of open questions in which you are asked to write down briefly and concisely what motivates you, what you want to achieve, what gives you energy and what you think are your pitfalls and qualities. This gives the feedback interview more depth.

The professions and activities interest analysis indicates in which sectors and activities someone is interested and who prefers them. The analysis is based on the one hand on the matching approach. The analysis is conducted at Secondary vocational education or on the Higher Vocational Education.
