Test Development and Validation
Assessment instruments can provide important knowledge about an individual’s characteristics and capabilities. Whether you need to select people for a specific position in the workforce or to certify that people possess and can exhibit necessary skills, appropriate testing provides an efficient and effective means to gather relevant information about their work-related and literacy skills.
Because society relies heavily on the use of tests, particularly in the areas of selection and certification, it is essential that such tests be well constructed, reliable, and valid, as well as both fair and cost-effective to develop and use.
