Script

Competence assessments is any testing in which a testee is a human being and his or her competence is the subject of this testing. Educational institutions use the assessments to evaluate student learning. Employers utilize the assessments to screen job applicants to ensure that the most appropriate employment candidates are hired.

A job interview is commonly used for competence assessments, but this is not the only tool. Various exams and quizzes can help to test knowledge and decision-making skills.

In a written test, questions are asked and responses are provided in writing. In an oral test, responses are provided orally.

In a competence descriptive evaluation, a testee demonstrates his or her competence through his or her description of concepts, skills, abilities, and/or performance.

A behaviorally anchored rating scale combines major elements from the critical incident and graphic rating scale approach. The appraiser rates the employees based on items along a continuum, but the points are examples of actual behavior on the given job rather than general descriptions or traits.

Performance tests represent another group of the assessments.
