Understanding the Power of Written and Ability Tests
Summary
An effective written test begins with a comprehensive job analysis that pinpoints exactly what a particular position requires and which skills are most valuable and frequently used. A written test can truly dive deep into a person’s skill set by asking a wide variety of succinct questions. This allows employers to continuously improve their pre-employment assessments, removing bias and focusing on the most valuable and relevant aspects of candidates. Although written tests have a surprising amount of predictive power when determining a person’s hands-on abilities, there’s no substitute for seeing someone in action. In these cases, it’s crucial to create a test that focuses solely on the physical abilities necessary for the job — meaning there isn’t any way to work around these requirements for those with disabilities.
