Talent Appraisal Tests: Verifying Proven Excellence
- The Talent Appraisal Test (TA) is a condensed version of any Global Standard Test (GST), designed to facilitate the assessment of an individual’s knowledge and skills in Lean, Six Sigma, and Operations. These shorter tests are created through continuous randomization of questions from the larger GST pool, leveraging statistical sampling to ensure consistency and reliability.
How It Works
- Talent Appraisal Tests are periodically updated to reflect the latest industry standards, making them not only an excellent practice tool before taking the full GST but also a means to keep one's knowledge current over time. For individuals who have already earned a GST credential, passing the corresponding TA test should be straightforward, as it draws from the same comprehensive Body of Knowledge.
Provable Preparation
- This creates a virtuous condition known as provable preparation: if an individual claims to have passed a GST, they can be "audited" with a TA test of the same kind by a prospective employer or any interested party. This ensures that their preparation and skills are verifiable and up-to-date, adding an extra layer of credibility to their credentials.
Benefits for HR Specialists and Recruiters
- For HR specialists and recruiters, TA tests are an invaluable tool for evaluating candidates’ preparation during the interview process. They provide a quick yet reliable measure of an individual’s expertise, ensuring that you select the best-qualified candidates for your organization.
In summary, Talent Appraisal Tests not only support continuous learning and self-assessment but also offer a robust mechanism for verifying and demonstrating the enduring value of a Global Standard Test credential.
