INTRODUCTION:
Occupational testing by employers is becoming a popular and an effective tool in selection of personnel at all levels. Tests normally consist of a standardized set of questions or tasks, which are used to measure the comparative skills, knowledge, abilities and other characteristics of individuals in an employment context.
There are appropriate tests for all types and levels of job selection, from the unskilled factory worker to senior management positions. Most of the usage has been in large organizations, not only because they select staff more often, but also because tests can provide a comparative, standardized assessment between candidates where multiple unit recruitment exists.
While there may be a requirement of functional testing for specific jobs, the most common occupational testing is psychometric: standardized behaviour sampling which can be described by a category or numeric scale. The three most common psychometric tests are ability, personality and personal interest tests.
This Workshop will cover varied psychological tests and their application in the industry.
