professional activity of psychologists. Psychological diagnostics is always in demand when rational decisions have to be found or substantiated. In this sense, it provides the methodological foundation for decisions.<\/p>\n<p>In the HR sector, assessment is used to make strategic decisions in the areas of recruitment, selection and development on a methodologically sound and structured basis with increased certainty. Especially wrong decisions on appointments with their implications on cost are avoided. In addition, succession planning is facilitated and employees can be offered internal career mobility. This has the effect of achieving sustainable employee loyalty to the company.<\/p>\n<p>Single or multiple exercises, tests, role plays and interviews can be used for an assessment. The goal of the employer is to better get to know the different competencies and personality traits of the candidates.<\/p>\n<p>An assessment is generally developed and conducted with a specific job profile in mind. In the case of a potential analysis, however, the evaluation is usually broader.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div  class=\"tatsu-module tatsu-text-block-wrap tatsu-rJlUiIk_E  \"><div class=\"tatsu-text-inner tatsu-align-center  clearfix\" ><style>.tatsu-rJlUiIk_E.tatsu-text-block-wrap .tatsu-text-inner{width: 100%;text-align: left;}<\/style><\/div><\/div><div  class=\"tatsu-module tatsu-divider-wrap  tatsu-rkfD2NDN_   \"  ><style>.tatsu-rkfD2NDN_ .tatsu-divider{width: 100%;background: #03549e;}.tatsu-rkfD2NDN_.tatsu-divider-wrap{text-align: left;margin: 30px 0px 20px 0px;}<\/style><hr class=\"tatsu-divider\"\/><\/div><div class=\"tatsu-row-wrap  tatsu-row-one-col tatsu-row-has-one-cols tatsu-medium-gutter tatsu-reg-cols tatsu-inner-row-wrap  tatsu-clearfix tatsu-HJxl404PVO\" ><div  class=\"tatsu-row \" ><div  class=\"tatsu-column  tatsu-bg-overlay tatsu-one-col tatsu-column-image- tatsu-column-effect-  tatsu-S1bEC4P4u\"  data-parallax-speed=\"0\" style=\"\"><div class=\"tatsu-column-inner \" ><div class=\"tatsu-column-pad-wrap\"><div class=\"tatsu-column-pad\" ><div  class=\"tatsu-module tatsu-text-block-wrap tatsu-S1oEC4PEu  \"><div class=\"tatsu-text-inner tatsu-align-center  clearfix\" ><style>.tatsu-S1oEC4PEu.tatsu-text-block-wrap .tatsu-text-inner{width: 100%;text-align: left;}<\/style>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_types_of_assessment_are_there\"><\/span>What types of assessment are there?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The different types of assessment are used depending on the objective and setting.

400;\">Promotion usually involves management positions. Therefore, an assessment in this context focuses on the potential in management and leadership.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Potential analysis \/ personnel development<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this form of assessment, the potential of employees is evaluated. The resulting strengths\/weaknesses profile is broadly based in order to capture the different types of competencies (cf. assessment services) and to enable the person to develop his or her career accordingly.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Succession planning<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As with staffing, this is about filling a position that becomes vacant due to age. Often, internal candidates are preferred and a transfer of know-how is initiated.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Selection for training and trainee positions<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here, too, it is an apprenticeship or trainee position that is to be appointed in the best possible way. Therefore, the potential is also evaluated.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the context of <\/span><b>change projects<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, the following situations become the occasion for assessments:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Internal (career) mobility<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the context of change projects, positions are sometimes eliminated or the job profile changes in such a way that the previous job holders are not necessarily the best choice. In order to avoid dismissal, an internal reassignment is therefore considered, for which the assessment serves. This is the basis for up- and reskilling.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Reorganization \/ Restructuring<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the case of major changes in the organization with corresponding changes in job requirements, the assessment is the basis for the best possible use of human resources.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div  class=\"tatsu-module tatsu-normal-button tatsu-button-wrap   tatsu-BJNp1CP6j   \"><a class=\"tatsu-shortcode mediumbtn tatsu-button left-icon    bg-animation-none  \" href=\"https:\/\/www.otp.ch\/en\/assessment\/\" style= \"\"  aria-label=\"I am interested\" data-gdpr-atts={} >I am interested<\/a><style>.tatsu-BJNp1CP6j .tatsu-button{background-color: rgba(3,84,158,1);color: #ffffff ;}.tatsu-BJNp1CP6j .tatsu-button:hover{background-color: rgba(150,150,150,1);border-color: rgba(63,95,151,1); }.tatsu-BJNp1CP6j.tatsu-button-wrap{margin: 0px 0 0 0;}.tatsu-BJNp1CP6j{padding: 0px 0 0 0;}<\/style><\/div><div  class=\"tatsu-empty-space  tatsu-HJJAR-ErF  \" ><style>.tatsu-HJJAR-ErF.tatsu-empty-space{height: 40px;}<\/style><\/div><div  class=\"tatsu-single-image tatsu-module tatsu-image-lazyload tatsu-BJJnAb4Ht  \" ><div class=\"tatsu-single-image-inner \" style=\"width : 1200px;\" ><div class = \"tatsu-single-image-padding-wrap\" style = \"padding-bottom : 33.333333333333%;\" ><\/div><img class = \"tatsu-gradient-border\" alt = \"\" title = \"assessment-anforderungen\" data-src = \"https:\/\/www.otp.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/assessment-anforderungen.jpg\" src =\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABCAQAAAC1HAwCAAAAC0lEQVR42mNkYAAAAAYAAjCB0C8AAAAASUVORK5CYII=\"  \/><\/div><style>.tatsu-BJJnAb4Ht .tatsu-single-image-inner{border-style: solid;max-width: 100%;}.tatsu-BJJnAb4Ht.tatsu-single-image{transform: translate3d(0px,0px, 0);}<\/style><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class = \"tatsu-column-bg-image-wrap\"><div class = \"tatsu-column-bg-image\" ><\/div><\/div><div class=\"tatsu-overlay tatsu-column-overlay tatsu-animate-none\" ><\/div><\/div><style>.tatsu-row > .tatsu-B1fpwfMfu.tatsu-column{width: 100%;}.tatsu-B1fpwfMfu.tatsu-column > .tatsu-column-inner > .tatsu-column-overlay{mix-blend-mode: normal;}.tatsu-B1fpwfMfu > .tatsu-column-inner > .tatsu-top-divider{z-index: 9999;}.tatsu-B1fpwfMfu > .tatsu-column-inner > .tatsu-bottom-divider{z-index: 9999;}.tatsu-B1fpwfMfu > .tatsu-column-inner > .tatsu-left-divider{z-index: 9999;}.tatsu-B1fpwfMfu > .tatsu-column-inner > .tatsu-right-divider{z-index: 9999;}@media only screen and (max-width:1377px) {.tatsu-row > .tatsu-B1fpwfMfu.tatsu-column{width: 100%;}}@media only screen and (min-width:768px) and (max-width: 1024px) {.tatsu-row > .tatsu-B1fpwfMfu.tatsu-column{width: 100%;}}@media only screen and (max-width: 767px) {.tatsu-row > .tatsu-B1fpwfMfu.tatsu-column{width: 100%;}}<\/style><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"tatsu-section-background-wrap\"><div class = \"tatsu-section-background\" ><\/div><\/div><div class=\"tatsu-overlay tatsu-section-overlay\"><\/div><style>.tatsu-Hk-ZavzGMd .tatsu-section-pad{padding: 10px 0px 32px 0px;}.tatsu-Hk-ZavzGMd .tatsu-section-offset-wrap{transform: translateY(-0px);}.tatsu-Hk-ZavzGMd > .tatsu-bottom-divider{z-index: 9999;}.tatsu-Hk-ZavzGMd > .tatsu-top-divider{z-index: 9999;}.tatsu-Hk-ZavzGMd .tatsu-section-overlay{mix-blend-mode: normal;}<\/style><\/div><div  class=\"tatsu-SyWeGdLbrY tatsu-section  tatsu-bg-overlay   tatsu-clearfix\" data-title=\"\"  data-headerscheme=\"background--dark\"><div class='tatsu-section-pad clearfix' data-padding='{\"d\":\"45px 0px 35px 0px\"}' data-padding-top='45px'><div class=\"tatsu-row-wrap  tatsu-wrap tatsu-row-one-col tatsu-row-has-one-cols tatsu-medium-gutter tatsu-reg-cols  tatsu-clearfix tatsu-r1exM_I-rt\" ><div  class=\"tatsu-row \" ><div  class=\"tatsu-column  tatsu-bg-overlay tatsu-one-col tatsu-column-image-none tatsu-column-effect-none  tatsu-H1efd8bSK\"  data-parallax-speed=\"0\" style=\"\"><div class=\"tatsu-column-inner \" ><div class=\"tatsu-column-pad-wrap\"><div class=\"tatsu-column-pad\" ><div  class=\"tatsu-module tatsu-text-block-wrap tatsu-Hk19_MMf_  \"><div class=\"tatsu-text-inner tatsu-align-center  clearfix\" ><style>.tatsu-Hk19_MMf_.tatsu-text-block-wrap .tatsu-text-inner{width: 100%;text-align: left;}<\/style>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_exercises_and_tests_are_used\"><\/span>What exercises and tests are used?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>With the assessment center, the employer has the chance to thoroughly screen applicants. This gives him more time to get to know applicants in a variety of situations.<\/p>\n<p>Often, one or more online tests are conducted before exercises with personal presence. The evaluation of these tests is then available for the face-to-face assessment center and allows the assessors to specifically examine individual topics in greater depth.<\/p>\n<h3>Contents<\/h3>\n<p>Typical examples for the content of (online) tests are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Assessment of skills: e.g.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">verbal skills (language tests)<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">numerical skills<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">&#8211; knowledge tests<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">&#8211; intelligence tests<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">&#8211; personality tests<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">characteristics<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">interests<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Motives and motivation<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Behavioral tendencies<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">work environment preferences<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">preferred approaches\/leadership characteristics<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3>Classic exercises<\/h3>\n<p>In an assessment center, the following exercises are very often used:<\/p>\n<h3>Self-presentation<\/h3>\n<p>In this exercise, you briefly introduce yourself personally and professionally. The self-presentation should last five minutes and should give a first impression of the person. In some cases, specific guidelines are given about the content of the self-presentation. One guideline may be that the self-presentation should focus on one&#8217;s greatest (professional) success. Subsequently, questions are also asked.<\/p>\n<p>What is important is the persuasiveness, the rhetorical skills and the sales element.<\/p>\n<h3>Mail basket exercise<\/h3>\n<p>The mail basket exercise is the simulation of a work situation. The candidates receive a &#8220;mail basket&#8221; with 10 to 20 documents that have to be processed within a specified, short period of time. The problems to be solved are varied and not exclusively of a professional nature. As a rule, queries are not possible. Each document has certain framework conditions that must be taken into account, e.g. a fixed deadline. Sometimes these framework conditions can overlap, so that one is forced to set priorities.<\/p>\n<p>This test shows how good one&#8217;s own organizational, action and decision-making skills are &#8211; especially under time pressure.<\/p>\n<h3>Case study<\/h3>\n<p>In a concrete case related to the company, one is confronted either alone or in a group with a problem for which a solution must be elaborated. The result is either submitted in writing or presented in a presentation. Here, it is not necessarily the concrete result that counts, but how the problem-solving process is carried out.<\/p>\n<p>Usually, no expertise is required for these case studies, as the point of this exercise is to test analytical and creative skills, strategic thinking, and teamwork.<\/p>\n<h3>Role play<\/h3>\n<p>The role play usually involves a realistic, job-related conflict situation that needs to be resolved. A difficult situation is simulated in a two-person meeting, e.g. an employee interview, a complaint meeting or a sales meeting. For example, the candidate has to take on the role of a manager who calls an underperforming employee to account.<\/p>\n<p>The focus is on leadership skills and dealing with employees\/customers. The focus is on the ability to deal with conflict, persuasiveness and the willingness to compromise.<\/p>\n<h3>Group discussion<\/h3>\n<p>With other candidates in a group, one is asked to discuss a given topic in a controversial way. Sometimes a role in the discussion may be given.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to direct comparison with the other participants in the discussion group, one looks at rhetorical skills, persuasiveness, and willingness to compromise.<\/p>\n<h3>Presentation\/lecture<\/h3>\n<p>Presentations are one of the most popular exercises in the assessment center.

However, a typical individual assessment today lasts a \u00bd &#8211; 1 day. In addition, there are some terms that employers use interchangeably. For example, if there is an \u201capplicant day\u201d, \u201cselection seminar\u201d, \u201cmulti-day selection process\u201d, \u201capplicant test\u201d or \u201ctesting procedure\u201d, there is often an AC behind it. Make sure candidates are aware of this.<\/p>\n<h3>Who is involved?<\/h3>\n<p>Of course, the candidate(s) will be there. To prevent subjectivity and misinterpretation, there are always at least two experienced assessors. They carefully compare individual perceptions during and after the assessment. Depending on the topic, these can be both, external and internal, to the organization.<\/p>\n<h3>Step by Step Description<\/h3>\n<p>Together with about 4 to 8 participants you take part in different exercises. The number of candidates can already give an indication of how many applicants are likely to be hired. Most assessment centers follow a similar process. For example, a one-day assessment center might run like this:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Welcome of the applicants, information about the daily schedule<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Short presentation of the participants<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Group discussion on a specific topic<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">break<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Distribution of questionnaires and solving of test items<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Lunch break<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Division into small groups and role play<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">mail basket exercise<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">small break<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Interviews with the individual candidates<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">final interview<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">End of the event<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div><div  class=\"tatsu-single-image tatsu-module tatsu-image-lazyload tatsu-rJ1vuGNSF  \" ><div class=\"tatsu-single-image-inner \" style=\"width : 1200px;\" ><div class = \"tatsu-single-image-padding-wrap\" style = \"padding-bottom : 35.166666666667%;\" ><\/div><img class = \"tatsu-gradient-border\" alt = \"\" title = \"assessment-center-bl\" data-src = \"https:\/\/www.otp.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/assessment-center-bl.jpg\" src =\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABCAQAAAC1HAwCAAAAC0lEQVR42mNkYAAAAAYAAjCB0C8AAAAASUVORK5CYII=\"  \/><\/div><style>.tatsu-rJ1vuGNSF .tatsu-single-image-inner{border-style: solid;max-width: 100%;}.tatsu-rJ1vuGNSF.tatsu-single-image{transform: translate3d(0px,0px, 0);}<\/style><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class = \"tatsu-column-bg-image-wrap\"><div class = \"tatsu-column-bg-image\" ><\/div><\/div><div class=\"tatsu-overlay tatsu-column-overlay tatsu-animate-none\" ><\/div><\/div><style>.tatsu-row > .tatsu-HkO8uNvEu.tatsu-column{width: 100%;}.tatsu-HkO8uNvEu.tatsu-column > .tatsu-column-inner > .tatsu-column-overlay{mix-blend-mode: normal;}.tatsu-HkO8uNvEu > .tatsu-column-inner > .tatsu-top-divider{z-index: 9999;}.tatsu-HkO8uNvEu > .tatsu-column-inner > .tatsu-bottom-divider{z-index: 9999;}.tatsu-HkO8uNvEu > .tatsu-column-inner > .tatsu-left-divider{z-index: 9999;}.tatsu-HkO8uNvEu > .tatsu-column-inner > .tatsu-right-divider{z-index: 9999;}@media only screen and (max-width:1377px) {.tatsu-row > .tatsu-HkO8uNvEu.tatsu-column{width: 100%;}}@media only screen and (min-width:768px) and (max-width: 1024px) {.tatsu-row > .tatsu-HkO8uNvEu.tatsu-column{width: 100%;}}@media only screen and (max-width: 767px) {.tatsu-row > .tatsu-HkO8uNvEu.tatsu-column{width: 100%;}}<\/style><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"tatsu-section-background-wrap\"><div class = \"tatsu-section-background\" ><\/div><\/div><div class=\"tatsu-overlay tatsu-section-overlay\"><\/div><style>.tatsu-B1WdUuEDVO.tatsu-section{background-color: rgba(249,249,249,1);}.tatsu-B1WdUuEDVO .tatsu-section-pad{padding: 33px 0px 60px 0px;}.tatsu-B1WdUuEDVO .tatsu-section-offset-wrap{transform: translateY(-0px);}.tatsu-B1WdUuEDVO > .tatsu-bottom-divider{z-index: 9999;}.tatsu-B1WdUuEDVO > .tatsu-top-divider{z-index: 9999;}.tatsu-B1WdUuEDVO .tatsu-section-overlay{mix-blend-mode: normal;}<\/style><\/div><div id=\"button2\" class=\"tatsu-fy34330gs9g3rxuh tatsu-section    tatsu-clearfix\" data-title=\"\"  data-headerscheme=\"background--dark\"><div class='tatsu-section-pad clearfix' data-padding='{\"d\":\"32px 0% 17px 0%\"}' data-padding-top='32px'><div class=\"tatsu-row-wrap  tatsu-wrap tatsu-row-one-col tatsu-row-has-one-cols tatsu-zero-margin tatsu-medium-gutter tatsu-reg-cols  tatsu-clearfix tatsu-fy34330gww2uq1xq\" ><div  class=\"tatsu-row \" ><div  class=\"tatsu-column  tatsu-column-no-bg tatsu-one-col tatsu-column-image-none tatsu-column-effect-none  tatsu-fy34330gx57ejcpu\"  data-parallax-speed=\"0\" style=\"\"><div class=\"tatsu-column-inner \" ><div class=\"tatsu-column-pad-wrap\"><div class=\"tatsu-column-pad\" ><div  class=\"tatsu-empty-space  tatsu-ryH8zUxrd  \" ><style>.tatsu-ryH8zUxrd.tatsu-empty-space{height: 30px;}<\/style><\/div><div  class=\"tatsu-module tatsu-text-block-wrap tatsu-r1jLkBDEu  \"><div class=\"tatsu-text-inner tatsu-align-center  clearfix\" ><style>.tatsu-r1jLkBDEu.tatsu-text-block-wrap .tatsu-text-inner{text-align: left;padding: 20px 20px 20px 20px;}.tatsu-r1jLkBDEu.tatsu-text-block-wrap{margin: 0px 0px 0px 0px;}<\/style>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Advantages_and_disadvantages_of_an_assessment_center\"><\/span>Advantages and disadvantages of an assessment center<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The assessment center has recently found more and more supporters and is also being used more. However, there are also voices that point out possible shortcomings and disadvantages of an assessment center. Below are the advantages and disadvantages:<\/p>\n<h3>Advantages<\/h3>\n<h4>For companies:<\/h4>\n<p>If the assessment center is conscientiously designed and also precisely tailored to the position to be filled, then it will avoid serious errors in recruitment. This then saves costs, because inadequate employees cause financial damage due to the uncompleted tasks and the necessary new recruitment. In addition to this fundamental advantage, the following arguments are also mentioned:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">An AC is suitable for the selection of both external and internal applicants.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">The AC creates an overview of the available potential and direct comparison of the applicants.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">As a group situation, the AC can provide valid statements about the communication behavior of the participants due to the longer observation period.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Observers who come from within the company are sensitized to leadership problems, leadership behavior and the observation and evaluation of employees.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">It usually has a motivating effect on participants if they are familiarized with the requirements and expectations of the company in the course of the AC.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Measurability of soft skills.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">The personnel development and training needs can be determined for each employee.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>For candidates:<\/h4>\n<p>An AC has definite advantages over the classic job interview. Applicants have sufficient time and opportunities to present themselves. In addition, the tasks are evaluated individually. If someone doesn&#8217;t really succeed in one task, then they have the chance to make a better impression in the next tasks. In addition, the same questions are often asked in the interviews, so you can prepare yourself for them.<\/p>\n<p>At the end of the assessment center, candidates usually receive detailed feedback on their performance and results. You can take a lot away from this for yourself, as you become aware of your strengths and weaknesses here. This awareness will help you in your further job search.<\/p>\n<p>An AC is also a good opportunity to network, as you will meet interesting and capable people &#8211; both among your fellow candidates and among those who represent the company.<\/p>\n<h3>Disadvantages<\/h3>\n<h4>For companies:<\/h4>\n<p>An AC incurs costs and time. These must be seen in relation to the costs of a wrong appointment.<\/p>\n<p>Critical voices point out that assessment centers can have a lack of significance. This is true if the exercises are too standardized and are not organized in a way that is specific to the company and the job. In this case, doubts about the professional relevance of the assessment center exercises and their prognostic significance are certainly justified. The success of the assessment center requires that the selection process is conceived and carried out tailor-made. This can also be a question of cost.<\/p>\n<p>Basically, there is also the risk of observation errors (e.g. the halo effect). Therefore, it is important to use skilled and experienced assessors who, if possible, have participated in a specific observer training. Such training helps to avoid observation deficiencies and errors on the part of the assessors in the assessment center.<\/p>\n<h4>For candidates:<\/h4>\n<p>Candidates are under stress, there is a lot at stake (the job), and for most it is a completely new situation. Employers want authentic behavior. However, this cannot be guaranteed <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">under these conditions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.otp.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/stellenabbau-restrukturierung-personal.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.otp.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/stellenabbau-restrukturierung-personal.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"759\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Please find below the advantages and possible shortcomings at a glance.<\/h3>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><b>Advantages<\/b><\/td>\n<td><b>Disadvantages<\/b><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Certain success characteristics of a position can be tested by specifically recreated situations.<\/span><\/td>\n<td><b>Criteria for job success are not precisely defined and cannot be verified by tests<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
