Ergometrics' Validation

Content validation is demonstrated by job analysis and the relationship between test content and job demands. Simulation design, depicting common stressors and problems encountered on the job, provides the most obvious evidence of content validity. During test development, detailed job analyses are developed and data collected from incumbents to further document the strong link between our simulation tests and the actual job.

Ergometrics' criterion validation consists of comparing the linkage between test scores and job performance. A direct statistical relationship between higher test scores and higher job performance provides strong evidence for test validity. Ergometrics' simulations consistently show strong correlations with job performance. Other criteria such as turnover, absenteeism and training scores are used to support criterion validation.

Ergometrics can provide detailed technical validation reports upon request. We encourage organizations to review this information and compare it to other tests.

These figures are based on COVT validation data. COVT has just been updated and is now our new REACT Testing and Training System for Employees Who Work with Adult Offenders
