Knowledge Tests

We develop job related and valid tests of job knowledge. These tests evaluate key job knowledge and job requirements and can be used to determine achievement and proficiency. These tests are developed following a content-related validation strategy.

Our procedures isolate key job requirements and tailor the test to these specifications. This process demonstrates that the content of the test represents important job-related behaviors. Thus test items are relevant to and measure directly important requirements and qualifications for the job. These test have high validity and are easy and inexpensive to administer.

These tests can be used to determine promotability, evaluate job performance, establish qualifications, assess prerequisite skills, and certify proficiency. These tests significantly increase the effectiveness of the organization by ensuring that the individuals hired or promoted possess the knowledge, ability, skill, and competencies need to succeed.

Research has demonstrated that these types of tests can significantly contribute to the organization's productivity. In addition, properly developed and validated tests are highly defensible in the event of legal challenges.
