PPM Power and Performance Measures
PPM Power and Perfomance Measures is a series of nine separate tests that can be
used effectively within recruitment
and career development.
They are particularly beneficial when assessing management potential. By adopting
PPM Power and Performance measures PTS have assisted organisations with their management and leadership development,

PPM Power tests measure ways of reasoning which do not change over time. PPM Performance
tests assess aptitude rather than actual performance.
