Right for the job - Auditor Proficiency
ISO 17024:2003 - is psychometric testing the way forward?

Some individuals are just not the right people to become auditors. And as a result, the auditor competence requirements of ISO 19011:2002 are now often gauged with the help of information technology. John Broomfield, president of US-based Quality Management International Inc., finds out about the new personnel standard ISO 17024:2003 and sees if personal attribute profiling is the way forward.

Right for the job?

Me too. Auditing and auditors' standards should be regulated professionally (and I have a lot of respect for QSA in this regards) and it is true that having audit numbers to show does not proof anything. Audit competency covers a lot more than just "audit".

But I do wonder how wide would the application of ISO 17024 be!
