TechnoPsychology applies the scientific method to investigate interactions among Traits & Environments to better understand how the interactions affect behavior in a given setting. The combination of WordStar, dBase3+, and a Tandy 1000 PC was the beginning of TechnoPsychology in 1988. We use more complex platforms now, but our belief has not changed--Continuous improvement is a verb, not a noun; TechnoPsychology involves dynamic, data-driven adjustments, not an end state.
Survey Artists at Work!!
The Machine driving PROBE Consulting
The term Sanaa in Swahili means "work of art; shining light". We are survey artists who believe in bringing light to data-darkness through research methodology and statistics. Every survey that we develop is a psychometric sculpture; A monument to validity, reliability, and evidence construction. The underpinning of our assessment-systems is an optimized, logic-filled survey. If we are collecting data, the machine driving that collection is a well-designed survey.
Quality In Quality Out!
The quality of an answer is directly related to the quality of the question asked. Leading and biased questions produce beautiful charts and tables describing absolutely nothing. PROBE CONSULTING, L.L.C. has been helping clients get quality answers since 1988. Request a no-obligation proposal or drop us a line and let us know how PROBE Consulting can paint or sculpt a survey for you on a cloud-based cyberspace canvas. If you are having cash flow issues germane to Covid-19, we can defer billing for 60-days, if that would help during these difficult times.
Let us know what you need to know
If you need to evaluate opinions from alumni, customers, open house attendees, employers regarding the quality of your graduates, general education students, potential or past donors, or a church congregation, PROBE will develop a professional web-based data collection system. We will unlock the information hidden in your data and you will spend less money because we use automated systems. They seem to make insightful decisions (fixed algorithms) and think (program logic) on their own. However, when we ask Hal to open the pod bay door, Hal opens the door.

Higher Education Research Services
For Institutional Research and Effectiveness Offices
Historically, assessment in higher education was a tangential process that occupied the institution every ten years. Different offices were assessed and evaluated as free-standing units and not as integrated parts of an institutional ecosystem. At the end of a site visit, you may realize that your organization is a very complex system that cannot be evaluated by Excel tables and pie charts. It would be more beneficial to arrive at that conclusion sooner as opposed to Ex Post Facto.
The whole is greater than the sum of its parts
In this very complex system, the success of Academic Affairs is tied directly to the success of Student Affairs. The success of the Registrar is tied directly to the success of the Admissions, and so on.
Modern assessment systems are part of the mainstream culture of an institution and must involve all stakeholders concurrently in the development of a culture of authentic evidence and tangible success. These systems must encapsulate what students KNOW, how they THINK, and what they can DO and also clearly delineate the contribution of each unit to the development of an institution-wide Success Construct.
Instead of gearing up for a compliance certification or an accreditation visit, let PROBE help you build a multi-trait/multi-method assessment system and develop a universal SUCCESS CONSTRUCT across your entire organizational ecosystem.
There is a lot going on in Higher Education right now...we are here!
If you are an administrator or IE professional, the campus is not closed for you. Even if you are working from home, data is still coming in. We can help with year-end IE reports and other closeout activities. You may not be sure when students will be back. No problem! We will accept your PO and invoice you only when the students are back. We can start in seven to ten days; however, you won’t pay until the students are back. Click the MODEST PROPOSAL link below, we will develop a comprehensive proposal.
We offer peace of mind at a reasonable flat-rate!
Why worry? Let us develop an automated, reliable, institution-wide assessment system, and help you mainstream a Contextualist-focused web-based evaluation process involving students, faculty members, support staff, administrators, alumni, and key stakeholders as one holistic unit.

Why engage in strategic planning?
Why engage in strategic planning?
Why engage in strategic planning?
Strategic planning is an organization’s process of defining its strategy, direction, and making decisions on allocating its resources to pursue this strategy. It may also extend to control mechanisms for guiding the implementation of the strategy. Why engage in strategic planning? If you fail to plan, you are planning to fail! According to PROBE, if you don't plan and evaluate the plan, you will not know why you failed or succeeded.
Types of planning?
Why engage in strategic planning?
How will we do it?
· Operational Planning–-how things need
to happen over the next 90 days.
· Tactical Planning—what is going to
happen over the next 9 months.
· Strategic Planning—why things need to
happen over the next 5 to 10 years.
We will work with you to develop dynamic planning algorithms across your various units, conduct in-depth Person/Situation analysis, and test and retest outcome assumptions.

MTMM--A Success Construct
MTMM--A Success Construct
MTMM--A Success Construct
The multi-trait/multi-method (MTMM) matrix is an approach to examining construct validity developed by Campbell and Fiske (1959). It organizes convergent and discriminant validity evidence for a comparison of how a measure relates to other measures. It is a technique used to develop Constructs in Psychology
PROBE has used the MTMM approach for twenty-years to develop a Success Construct. We have presented professional papers on the technique and implemented it in numerous academic settings. We travel 15 years or so back-to-the-future of your organization and develop regression models that will chart your next 5 to 10 years.
We will look into it!
