Leadership assessment for training providers in the Gulf
Masaar runs the psychometric assessment inside your programme, in Arabic and English. Each participant receives a report and a development plan mapped to the modules they are about to take.

What each participant receives
A bilingual assessment report and an individual development plan. The plan is written from the participant's own scores and mapped to the programme they are joining. Where the programme calls for it, a qualified assessor reviews it before release.

The profile below is the same for every track. Choose one of four programme levels to see how the plan changes.

Agility
Ask for the tasks whose brief is still changing. Taking them on early, and staying calm while they settle, is how adaptability shows at this level.
Mapped to
Working Through Change: what to do when the brief changes mid-task.
Where to start
- Take the next task whose brief is least settled, and write down what you expect to change before you begin.
- When your work is re-prioritised, ask what stays fixed before you ask what moves.
Also in this plan: Innovation, Leadership
Illustrative output. Real plans are reviewed and released by qualified assessors before a participant sees them.
Method
The instruments and how we use them
Each battery is built from the client's own competency framework. Every competency is mapped to dimensions an instrument can measure, and that mapping is written up for your proposal.
| Instrument | Measures | Languages |
|---|---|---|
| Hogan HPI, HDS, MVPI | Personality, derailment risk, values | Arabic, English |
| Matrigma | Non-verbal reasoning | Language-neutral |
| EQ-i 2.0 | Emotional intelligence | Arabic, English |
| Masaar item bank | Personality items and situational judgement tests written for the region | Arabic, English |
- Measured twice
- Participants can be assessed at the start and end of a programme against the same framework. The two results are stored separately, so change is reported against one standard.
- Norms
- We use publisher norms where they apply. Regional norms are built from our own Gulf dataset as it grows.
- Review
- Occupational psychologists design each battery and, where the programme calls for it, review reports before release. Scoring rules are versioned, and every score traces back to the responses behind it.
