To say that accurate assessment is a fundamental prerequisite to selection, training or development is perhaps obvious. However, the role of assessment has often been understated in the past. Part of the problem is that assessment methods are not easy to compare and evaluate. This paper addresses itself to this issue, in it the authors look at three assessment techniques; namely psychological tests, assessment centres and 'biodata', and compare them in terms of the information they provide, their accuracy and ease of implementation.
