Situational Judgment Tests: A Review of Recent Research

In der Personnel Review erscheint in Kürze einen interessanten Artikel über so genannte Situational Judgment Tests (SJT). Stärken und Schwächen dieser Verfahrensklasse werden von Filip Lievens, Helga Peeters, and Eveline Schollaert aus empirischer Perspektive (1990-2007) analysiert und bewertet.

Aus dem Inhalt: „This paper presented SJTs, including their characteristics, strengths, and weaknesses. Important strengths of SJTs are that they show criterion-related validity and incremental validity over cognitive ability and personality. Furthermore, applicant reactions are positive due to the job-relatedness of SJTs and SJTs have less adverse impact towards minorities than cognitive ability tests (if the cognitive loading of the SJT is low). Finally, SJTs can be used to test large groups of applicants at once (over the Internet). In terms of weaknesses, SJTs might be prone to faking, practice, and coaching (although to a lesser extent than personality inventories). In addition, most SJTs are context-specific instruments, making it necessary to develop SJTs for specific jobs (job families) and cultures.“
