PsychometricPlus

“Measuring Minds, Strengthening Crews”

Who We Are

In today’s maritime industry, the safety and performance of a vessel depend not only on technical competence but also on the mental readiness, resilience, and behavioural strength of its crew. PsychometricPlus was created to address this vital human element by offering psychometric testing, wellbeing programs, and human factors training specifically designed for seafarers.

Our platform provides shipping companies with a comprehensive approach to crew selection, development, and welfare, helping reduce risk, improve retention, and strengthen safety culture at sea.

All our offerings are aligned with MLC 2006, ISM Code, TMSA, and OCIMF/SIRE 2.0 expectations, ensuring both compliance and value for ship operators.

“PsychometricPlus is a maritime-focused behavioural assessment and wellbeing platform, designed to enhance seafarer safety, crew readiness, and mental resilience through world-class psychometric testing and training solutions.”
