One Item at a Time: Laying the Foundation for an Accurate and Fair Competency Assessment

This session will unravel one of the layers that can make or break the accuracy and fairness of a competency assessment: its items. Join Justin Hess, Ph.D., Senior Industrial/Organizational Psychologist of pymetrics, as he discusses what it takes to build a quality competency assessment, the difference between exam items and assessment items, and why competency assessments need to be job-relevant. You’ll also learn why validation is an important part of the assessment creation process and how assessments can be built from the ground up to help organizations reduce bias.
