Strategic individual assessment: issues in providing reliable descriptions

Article Abstract:

Individual assessments prepared by psychologists often play a crucial role in personnel management decisions. These assessments, which involve the testing, interviewing, and screening of employees or potential employees, are a major factor in employee selection procedures. The reliability of individual assessment practices is evaluated using a comparison study that examines the comparability of assessment reports. It is found that the methodology of the typical individual assessment process is psychometrically inadequate, and, as such, is an unreliable basis for personnel-related decisions.
