Reality Check: Explaining Complex Testing Approaches to End Users

Modern testing systems are saturated with valuable but complex concepts such as adaptive testing, detailed candidate reports, and nonlinear scoring. Yet, methods must still be explained, in detail and for high stakes, to lay end users (e.g., applicants, hiring managers). Panelists discuss the perils and opportunities therein.

Predicting Entry-Level Performance Using Facet-Level, Personality-Based Employability Scales

This study examined the predictive validity of a facet-level, personality-based employability measure in relation to entry-level job performance. Across 4 studies, various personality-based employability scales were predictive of supervisors’ ratings of overall performance. Organizations could benefit from using facet-level personality-based employability measures to screen in applicants for entry-level jobs.
