Psychometric Testing New Zealand
Pre-employment assessments benchmarked against New Zealand working-population norms — not imported UK or US tables. Sydney-based, trans-Tasman for over 25 years, and trusted by the New Zealand Government.
Pre-Employment Assessments Built for
the New Zealand Workforce
New Zealand employers get the same validated battery used by Qantas, National Australia Bank and Australian state governments — scored against New Zealand norms, supported on a New Zealand number.
New Zealand Norms
A New Zealand working-population norm group is applied across every instrument, so percentile scores describe New Zealand candidates accurately rather than borrowing a Northern Hemisphere benchmark.
Objective and Defensible
Every candidate is measured against the same standardised instrument, producing a fair, auditable selection record for public-sector and regulated appointments.
Trusted by Government
RightPeople assessments are used by the New Zealand Government alongside Australian federal and state agencies, where procurement scrutiny of validity and fairness is at its most rigorous.
Local Support, Trans-Tasman Hours
Registered organisational psychologists are available on +64 9 913 5666 during business hours that overlap New Zealand's working day. Results appear in your dashboard the moment a candidate finishes.

Transparent Data Handling
RightPeople has delivered psychometric testing to New Zealand organisations from its Sydney base for over 25 years. The shared trans-Tasman labour market, common language and comparable education systems mean the New Zealand norm group is built from directly relevant candidate data, not extrapolated from Australian results.
Candidate data is hosted in Australia under the Australian Privacy Act 1988. New Zealand agencies that must satisfy themselves about overseas disclosure under the Privacy Act 2020 can request RightPeople's data-handling and security documentation before an engagement begins.
