Assessment Information Form Example.docxPreview the documentView in a new window This is the example of how to complete one of the assessment information forms. This is an example ONLY – this is not an appropriate assessment for a business setting. This type of assessment is more of a clinical or counseling assessment and is designed to identify psychological/behavioral issues — this is totally unacceptable in a business setting. For this class do not use this assessment or any similar assessment.

Introduction: One of the advantages of the internet is that you now have a wealth of information readily available to help as a leader locate assessment resources to (1) help you in your personal and professional development and (2) help you develop those you lead. Depending upon your depth of interest in assessments, you can now easily research enough information, online, to swim to your heart’s contentment or quickly drown in the seemingly endless sea. Blessing or curse is your choice. However, for this assignment you must research assessments and choose five that you think will be useful for you in your career.

For the HDL 675 course, you would normally receive a few guidelines for your research and then you would jump into the sea of information and swim or drown. Because of the compressed timeframe of this summer session, I am limiting your “research sea” so your can quickly both learn and “somewhat enjoy” exploring the assessments available to you.

Research Guidelines

Use google and Wikipedia as your initial source to find assessments and publisher information and their websites. I am providing you some starting links to major assessment publishers for some of the “categories” of assessments listed below. Of course, you are free to swim as far as you like in the “sea of assessments” — just document your assessment choices thoroughly.
2. Use a mix of assessments from the different categories of assessments and publishers.

For five assessments: personality, career, conflict management (think HDL655/COM639), leadership (HDL660), 360 instruments, and other types of assessments listed on this link
Not more than two assessments from the same category
Not more than two assessments from the same publisher
If information is not available to fully complete the Assessment Information form, find another assessment.
3. Be sure to research and find validity and reliability information!

The survey consists of a basic module and variable supplements. The SDQ was included in the 2001 NHIS Supplement. From each family in the NHIS, one sample adult and one sample child (if any children under age 18 are present) are randomly selected. Information on the sample child was obtained from a knowledgeable adult residing in the household. Of the 10,367 children between 4 and 17 in the survey, 9,878 children had complete data on all sections of the SDQ, and this is the sample used in the analyses presented here. A parent (biologic, adoptive, or step) was a reporter for 92% of the SDQ sample. A grandparent was the reporter for 4.4%.
