In addition to routine psychological testing of applicants and special duty personnel, many agencies utilize the LESI® Executive Assessment process when considering applicants for important command and executive positions. The LESI® Executive Assessment, an in-depth profile of executive style and ability, is often used as a tool for making key personnel appointments. LESI® Executive Assessments are available for the following job classifications:

• First line supervisor (initial promotion)
• Incumbent executive (promotion from supervision to higher ranks)
  

The process includes an in-depth interview with a LESI® professional, experienced in both law enforcement and executive assessment. The interview findings are combined with the results of a battery of psychological tests. The resultant document addresses the following attributes of executive performance:

• Intellectual (problem solving) ability
• Emotional characteristics
• Skill in human relations
• Insight into human behavior
• Ability to plan, organize and direct
  

This information is summarized and recommendations are made for further development LESI® consultants will also conduct Executive Assessments in conjunction with external selection processes (e.g. selection of Chief Executives). In these cases, the profile may be combined with services associated with LESI® Custom Research Services.
