Ergometrics' Fairness

Ergometrics is extremely knowledgeable and experienced in the development of fair and objective screening procedures. Emphasis on video and other techniques for developing simulations is Ergometrics' cornerstone in the process of creating fair, job related tests. Following are key aspects in our approach to provide systems with the maximum predictive power and fairness:

Extensive job analysis
Identifying and measuring the full range of critical skills and behaviors
Development of test materials that require no prior training or experience
Extensive subject matter expert input and review
Detailed item analyses
Professional validation studies

Ergometrics' video tests consistently have lower adverse impact than written tests. They are not dependent on reading ability or prior experience. Because the scenarios are actual job simulations, video tests are the fairest way to assess applicants from diverse backgrounds. Simulations also provide the best measurement of judgment and human interaction skills, which are often critical to job performance and typically have less adverse impact than dimensions generally tested by traditional format tests.
