System Description

The AccuVision Supervisory & Managerial System is composed of 14 video simulations depicting job relevant situations in which a supervisor/manager is shown interacting with others. At a critical point in each simulation, the participant is asked to choose one of four behavioral options corresponding to what he/she would do if they were in the situation. Each behavioral option is presented on screen in text format and acted out on the video. This reduces the impact of reading ability, and standardizes the meaning of the textual choice for all participants. The AccuVision Supervisory & Managerial System is very easy and time efficient to administer. The system can also be administered to a large group of people in a single testing session. And the testing session and scoring procedure can be administered by virtually anyone within the organization; it does not need to be someone who is proficient in testing or computers.

The test can be administered in one hour and 45 minutes.

Validity Information

A concurrent validation study was conducted to determine the degree of correlation between incumbents' scores on the AccuVision Supervisory & Managerial System and their current on-the-job supervisory/managerial performance. Over 400 incumbents, across ten different companies, participated in the validation study. These incumbents had performance ratings filled out by their managers and then took the test. The correlation between on-the-job performance ratings and the AccuVision System was .41. This is a marked improvement over traditional employment interview validity correlations, which typically range from .12 to .20, and provides four times the prediction compared to the typical interview.

EEOC considerations were assessed in the validation study, and the system was found to predict equally well for all groups (i.e., females, males, blacks, whites, etc.).

Diagnose Your Needs

Effective training strategies are not based simply on sound training materials. Instead, a pre-training, diagnostic process should be used to identify the actual training needs of individuals. AlignMark offers a comprehensive pre-training diagnostic assessment process comprised of the AccuVision Supervisory and Managerial System ( a video-based, job simulation assessment tool), and the AlignMark 360º Management Skills Survey process. Used in combination, these diagnostic tools will clearly identify and define the training needed to improve job performance.

Certify Your Results

Most organizations strive to document the return on their training investment. AlignMark's Knowledge Assessment Systems will enable you to...

• Hold participants accountable for training.
• Measure the direct impact of training on performance.
• Provide additional developmental feedback.
• Periodically measure participants' proficiency levels.
