Essential Aspects of our Work Capacity Assessment Systems:
CRITERION REFERENCED. Criterion referenced tests use objective standards and
the individual is required to demonstrate abilities of a particular or general
vocational level. That is why criterion referenced testing typically do a better
job of identifying Work Capacity abilities then norm referenced testing. Test
results on all our systems indicate what individuals can do in the domain or
field of “Work”. They measure capacities to (successfully) meet
predetermined work related objectives.
FUNCTIONAL SKILL APPROACH. Performance criteria are specified and indicate skills
that are significant and functional as they are based on the skills required
“on the job”.
MULTI-DIMENSIONAL. Test results are based on multiple interactive Cognitive,
Physical, Mental and Adaptive Characteristics of the individual, as it is in
the real life of work.
WORK SIMULATION. The content of all our systems represents the vocational domain.
Test tasks are practical, meaningful and structured. All tasks have a beginning
and an end. Administration criteria are clear defined and objective.
