How the REP Self-Assessment Survey is Developed for YOU
This article is designed to enumerate, in sequence, the steps for developing the unique personality survey instrument to be used by your organization as part of its regular selection process, along with the the assessment of experience, skills and knowledge
Step One -- Selecting the normative group
The key to an effective test is the normative group. The more similar it is to the applicant population, the more accurate the predictions. The normative group for the REP Self-Assessment Survey consists of YOUR CURRENT PEOPLE!
Your organization selects two groups: 50 of your highest performers and 50 of your lowest performers. Each person is given an ID number (for anonymity) and their corresponding performance data is transmitted to our database
Step Two -- Taking the Self-Assessment Survey (SAS)
Each of the 100 people in the normative group takes the REP-SAS. The survey typically takes less than one hour. It is administered on-line, 24 hours/day, 365 days per year.
Step Three -- The Organization's Unique Selection Survey (USS) is Developed.
A specially designed Artificial Intelligence (AI) engine selects those 100 questions that most accurately differentiate between the high- and low-performers. These become the initial USS. A separate database with these questions and answers is "paired" with another AI engine on our servers.
Step Four -- The Survey Becomes a Part of the Application Procedure
Every applicant is assigned an ID and takes the SAS on-line. A probability of high-performance is generated using the USS and reported to the organization instantaneously.
Step Five - The USS "Gets Smarter".
Periodically, new performance data for each person who has taken the test is transmitted to the organization's database on our servers. The "paired"AI engine uses this new performance data to reassess and re-formulate the USS. Each time that more performance data is entered, the USS becomes more accurate at predicting candidate success.
