CANADIANS DESERVE MEANINGFUL MEASUREMENT

HOW WE WORK

5 Foundation Pillars

Candidate fairness is about the regulator’s duty to provide accurate classifications of competent/not yet competent candidates pursuing their accreditation.

CANDIDATE

At the organizational level, meaningful measurement is about protection of the public and ensuring the financial and reputational interests of the regulator.

ORGANIZATIONAL

Meaningful measurement in the regulatory context is about understanding the specific context, needs, goals, and pain points that regulators encounter and how to effectively address their needs.

REGULATORY

As Canadians we have distinct perspectives aligning with our values on what should be included in the assessment of those seeking accreditation.

CULTURAL

As business owners, SPIRE recognizes that corporations can be a source for good, meeting the challenges of our time, improving our communities, and protecting our amazing natural environment.

BENEFITS

WHO WE WORK WITH

SPIRE psychometrics have worked with a broad range of industries over our combined 45+ years of experience in the assessment industry. In addition to working with virtually every health profession in Canada we have worked with educators, lawyers, engineers, geoscientists, agrologists, and financial planners to name a few to make their assessment programs as defensible and robust as they can be. This broad range of experience that we have in so many industries give us a unique perspective on what approaches work and what approaches don’t work when planning, developing, implementing, and maintaining a high-stakes assessment program. We leverage this experience and provide the best guidance possible to our clients not only in terms of technical approaches but also in terms of processes that are the most efficient and sustainable.

The Canadian Centre for Professional Legal Education (CPLED) has partnered with Spire Psychometrics since 2019 when it began its exciting journey to develop and deliver innovative and experiential legal education programming for aspiring lawyers. Spire Psychometrics has played an integral role in candidate evaluation and has continued to support CPLED by providing psychometric analysis of the Practice Readiness Education Program's (PREP) high stakes evaluation, the Capstone Evaluation. Coupled with Spire’s invaluable knowledge and experience in evaluation, they have also demonstrated exceptional attention to the organization’s unique needs and circumstances and are simply a pleasure to work with.
