At the time I wasn't really ready to take the advice but it's ringing true now.

The person who did my testing isn't in practice any more so I can't give a personal recommendation, but there's gotta be loads of companies/people doing it, especially in the Calgary area due to their high concentration of management positions.
Very interesting. I have never heard of an industrial psychologist. I relied on aptitude tests, skills appraisals, etc but all done online through various career sites. Alis.gov.ab.ca has many resources. I am now off to google industrial psychologists. Thanks..
