Testing and assessment are critical components of selection, recruitment, and the training and development processes in any business or organization. Organizations approach assessments in a multitude of ways. Use the W2 Assignment Jeopardy template to complete the activity.

To complete this writing assignment:

Research all of the following evaluative protocols that might be used by an I/O psychologist or manager to assess an employee’s performance.

A peer evaluation

An observational evaluation

• A subordinate evaluation

A 360° appraisal

• Start your search by reviewing what you read in your course text, Chapter 4, and using the keywords in the library’s search tool as well as google.  As you research, make notes about key elements that are attributed to each protocol.

   

• Next – Let’s play!
• 
• Create 3 “Jeopardy statements” that would align with each type of evaluation. (You will have 12 hints.)
• Example: This type of evaluation would be used to learn co-workers’ perspectives about Sam’s work habits. (Do not use this example exactly.

Next, analyze the possibility of bias that may occur when using each of the assessments/evaluations.

Use your resources rather than what you believe to be true about each method.

Lastly, identify at least two strengths and at least two weaknesses of the assessments based on your research. (Remember to cite your sources. This may be your text or other credible articles or websites.)
