System Description
The AccuVision Workplace Success Skills (WSS) is designed
to measure the skills necessary for success in entry-level hourly jobs
in a variety of industries. The system's design features and embedded
skills assess a majority of the basic skills specified within the Secretary's 
Commission
On Achieving Necessary Skills (SCANS) Report recently published by the U.S.
Department of Labor. The WSS has 5 distinct sections, each designed to tap
to unique job-related skills and abilities. The scenario overviews for all
modules were design to include the majority of critical tasks and represented
a mix of scenarios for the positions. Each of the sections can be used alone
or combined with others to meet the specific needs of any organization.
The test, with all sections, can be administered, to individuals or groups, in 1 hour and 50 minutes.
Validity Information
A concurrent validation study was conducted to determine the degree of correlation between incumbents' score on the AccuVision Workplace Success Skills System and their current on-the-job service performance. The validation study included a total of 663 incumbents across 9 different organizations in various industries who were tested and had job performance data collected on them. While each section was designed to measure unique and independent skills, also examined was the prediction of job performance based on all five modules. Therefore a correlation was calculated between the total score on all five sections and overall job performance. The correlation was .33, p <.05. This shows that all sections combined also significantly and accurately predict overall job performance. This system provides four times the prediction compared to the typical interview.
EEOC considerations were assessed in the validation study, and results showed that there were no differences on test performance among different groups (i.e., females, males, blacks and whites).
