History of CRI
The origins of
Pre-Employment Assessment
CRI’s Assessments were developed by a team of psychologists in 1957. Dr. John L. Shirley used the tests of the day to assess candidates for leadership roles. Early customers included the Zales Corporation, Mary Kay Cosmetics, Ebby Halliday Real Estate, Home Interior Decorating and Gifts, 7-Eleven, and Radio Shack.
A New Personality Test
Psychologists in Dallas tested and interviewed all candidates and employees to determine who were the most best prospects. Over the years, data from hundreds of candidates was used as a foundation to improve the testing process and hiring efficiency.
Through these efforts, Dr. Shirley developed a new, job-related test. With the help of other psychologists, they built The Achiever Assessment, which was the first to test mental aptitude, personality traits, and validity in a single instrument.
