Best Practice In Online Testing - Ian Newcombe
Live Webcast
The benefits of the Internet as a medium for delivering psychometric assessment have become widely recognised over the past 2-3 years. Whilst blue chip graduate recruiters still make up the majority of the users of online assessment, increasing access to the web has led a number of organisations to use online assessment as a way of streamlining recruitment processes for non-graduate roles.
Up until recently, online assessment has tended merely to replicate the traditional paper-based paradigm.
However, the nature of the Internet affords a numbers of opportunities for psychometric assessment that cannot be provided by using a paper-based process - examples include:
- high fidelity assessments (potentially using animations or video vignettes),
- assessments which use complex statistical processes to deliver adaptive or item banked measures of personality and ability,
- assessments which can be integrated into an online workflow that allows the most talented applicants to be fast-tracked into an organisation.
This session looks at ways in which the power of the Internet can be most usefully harnessed to deliver valid assessments with a real business benefit. The session will also attempt to review some of the valid concerns and criticisms that exist around the use of the Internet for assessment and suggest how they may be mitigated. Finally, there will be a brief overview of some of the newest developments in the field of online assessment.This webinar was in the past but the recording is available on request by emailing Matt Jordan at matt.jordan@kenexa.com
