Jacqueline van Gent

Jacqueline is an industrial and organizational psychologist who feels inspired by questions like:

• What makes people “tick” at work?
• How can people use their talents in a way that is profitable for both themselves and the organization
• How can we find the best match between an individual and the organization

The role of assessment psychologist suits her very well. She performs both selection and development assessments, bearing the above questions in mind. She knows how to put people at ease. She emphasizes more on what people know and can do, instead of what they don’t know and cannot do. In her opinion, an assessment can only be successful when the individual who is taking the assessment enjoys the opportunity of engaging in self-reflection and of receiving feedback and suggestions for development.The assessment reports she writes are positively critical in tone, clear and to the point, with a minimal use of psychological jargon
