Essential Dimensions of Performance Tests.

Abstract

Performance tests, as developed for use by the practicing training evaluator, are analyzed in terms of four essential characteristics: relevant test method, a product criterion, standardized test conditions, and an objective scoring procedure. Common shortcomings in achieving these characteristics are discussed from the standpoint of their causes as well as their impact on test reliability and validity. Remedial approaches are described.
