For Researchers

Reproducible assessment for I/O research.

Study structured interviews, personality, and competencies with a scoring engine that gives the same result for the same text, every time.

  • Deterministic, reproducible scoring
  • Engine version reported with every result
  • Established I/O psychology frameworks
Why researchers use it

A measurement tool, not a black box.

Generative AI models can rate the same interview differently from one run to the next. For research, that's a confound. The TSAI Assessment was built to be stable, transparent, and citable.

Reproducible

Same text, same result

Scoring is fully deterministic. Run the same transcript on the same engine version today or next year and get the same result. Generative AI models can’t offer that.

Version-pinned

Cite the exact engine

Every result reports the engine version that produced it, so your methods section can specify exactly what was measured and how.

Transparent

Glass-box methodology

Dictionary- and statistics-based language analysis built on established psychometric frameworks, with no large language models or black-box neural scoring.

Established frameworks

Constructs you already study

The Great Eight competencies, Big Five–based personality measures, and motivation constructs such as grit and resilience.

Scale

From pilot to large samples

Assess up to 25 transcripts per request, with job analysis and O*NET lookups for role-level studies.

Data minimal

Your data stays yours

Transcript text isn’t stored by default, is never written to logs, and is never sent to a large language model.

Constructs

24 measures across three established frameworks.

No extra tests and no questionnaires. Every measure comes from what candidates actually say in their interview.

Competencies

The Great Eight competency framework: how candidates lead, collaborate, analyze, and get things done.

  • Leading & Deciding
  • Supporting & Cooperating
  • Interacting & Presenting
  • Analyzing & Interpreting
  • Creating & Conceptualizing
  • Organizing & Executing
  • Adapting & Coping
  • Enterprising & Performing

Personality

Big Five–based personality measures linked to workplace behavior and communication style.

  • Openness
  • Conscientiousness
  • Extraversion
  • Agreeableness
  • Empathy
  • Expression of emotion

Motivation & drive

What energizes candidates and how they sustain effort over time.

  • Enthusiasm
  • Proactiveness
  • Grit
  • Resilience
  • Sustained dedication
  • Self-determination
  • Delayed gratification
  • Certainty
Research uses

What you can study with it.

Structured interview research

Examine how interview design, question type, and response length relate to competency and personality signals.

Validation studies

Relate assessment results to performance, retention, or other criteria in your own samples.

Human–machine comparisons

Compare TSAI measures with trained human raters, self-report inventories, or other scoring approaches.

Teaching and practice

Show students and practitioners how text-based assessment works with a transparent, reproducible engine.

Scientific foundation

Advised by leaders in I/O psychology.

The TSAI Assessment was designed and validated with leading industrial-organizational psychology researchers. Our validation report, including adverse-impact analysis, is available on request.
