TechnoPsychology started with a Tandy 1000 in 1988!
TechnoPsychology involves building automated information systems through the application of cloud-based technology, personality psychology, and the scientific method for practical purposes, specifically, the systematic study of the interaction among traits and environments (Person & Situation) to better understand how the connections differentially affect behavior in a given context. We study the Personality of an organization and use a vehicle called TechnoPsychologyto drive continuous improvement. The combination of WordStar and dBase3+ on a Tandy 1000 PC was the beginning of the TechnoPsychology drive toward data-driven improvement. We use more complex cloud-based platforms now, but our belief has not wavered in 32 years--Continuous improvement is a verb, not a noun; It must be 100% ongoing. TechnoPsychology involves dynamic adjustments, not a goal state; It is a 100% ongoing, equilibrium process.
Survey Artists at Work!!
The Engine driving PROBE Consulting
At the root of 100% of our assessment systems is a survey. If we are collecting data for you, the vehicle for the collection is a well-designed survey. If we develop a writing center registration screen, ask students how they experienced PSY 400-01, or ask customers if they can endorse a business, somewhere in the cyberspace-background, an optimized, logic-filled survey is running the show.
The Art and Science of asking questions
Did you know that the quality of an answer is related to the quality of the question? We have been helping our partners ask quality questions since 1988. We are survey artists at work. The Greek word "techně", often translated as "art," implies mastery of any sort of craft. Send us your survey and we will demonstrate our mastery. Better yet, let us design one for you. Request a proposal now or drop me a line at cecil_mcmanus@probeconsulting.com let me know what PROBE can paint or sculpt for you on a web-based canvas.
Let us know what you need to know
If you need to interface with alumni, customers, employers, general education students, potential donors, or your congregation, PROBE will develop a professional web-based data collection system. We have been digitizing paper and pencil instruments since 1988.
We will unlock the information contained in your data and you will spend less money because we automate everything. When we ask Hal to open the bay doors, He actually opens the doors.

Higher Education Support 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 then evaluated as free-standing units and not as integrated parts of an institutional whole. At the end of the day or the conclusion of a site visit, you may realize that your institution is a very complex system that cannot be described by Excel tables and pie charts. It may be more advantageous 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 the Academic Affairs Office is tied directly to the success of the Student Affairs Office. The success of the Registrar’s Office is tied directly to the success of the Admissions office, and so on.
Modern assessment systems must be part of the mainstream culture within the institution and involve all stakeholders concurrently in the development of a culture of authentic evidence and tangible success. These systems must not only encapsulate what students KNOW, how they THINK, and what they can DO but 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 document or an accreditation visit, let us help you build a multi-trait/multi-method assessment system and develop a universal SUCCESS CONSTRUCT across your entire institution.
There is a lot going on in Higher Education right now...we are here!
If you are an administrator or a director-level IE-IR professional, the campus is not closed for you. Data never stops coming in. You are working full-time from a home office or maybe even your campus office. If you need help completing year-end reports, compiling reports from all units into one cohesive IE Summary, or any other year-end closeout effort, we have the expertise to help right now. If you have a Compliance Certification in the near (18-24 months) future, we have the expertise to help right now.
You may not be sure when you will get students back on campus, so revenue is a challenge right now. We will accept your Purchase Order and bill you only when you are able to draw down funds from student tuition and fees. That could be this fall, however, we can start next week. You don’t pay us until students pay their bills.
Click the modest-proposal-request link below. We will look over your information, and if we think that we can help, we will offer to partner with you. Click below and tell us what you need.
We offer peace of mind at a reasonable flat-rate!
Why worry? We will develop an automated, authentic, institution-wide assessment system, and mainstream a Contextualist-focused web-based assessment process involving students, faculty members, staff, administrators, alumni, and key stakeholders as one holistic unit.

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? According to Mr. Franklin, “If you fail to plan, you are planning to fail! According to PROBE, if you don't plan, you will not know why you failed or succeeded.
Types of planning?
Why engage in strategic planning?
How will we do it?

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 areas. We will 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!
