Choose the right skills assessment tool for individual, corporate, or group use. Consider online or manual assessment, and only purchase from reputable vendors. Test samples before buying.
Choose the best skills assessment tool by first deciding whether this tool will be for individual use, corporate use or will be used to conduct group skills assessments. If you choose tests for group assessments, choose a skills test tailored to your group size. When purchasing a skills assessment tool, you must also decide whether you prefer an online assessment or a manual assessment tool and whether you prefer a scheduled or unscheduled assessment. Choose the assessment tool that best meets your needs, without compromising your goals of fully assessing your skills or those of your group.
Skills assessment tools can be purchased from online or catalog vendors. If you need immediate access to an assessment tool, an online skills assessment is likely to be your best choice. Whether you are choosing a skills assessment tool for your individual use or you intend to use the tool to assess the skills of a group, be sure to only purchase a test from a reputable vendor. To do this, ask peers, trainers, human resources officers, and others who have purchased tools before where they purchased tools, which tools they purchased, and what impression they have of each tool’s effectiveness.
Buy only a highly recommended skills assessment tool known for a strong reputation. You may also choose to purchase skills assessment software. Before doing so, make sure the software you are considering is compatible with your computer system.
If you are choosing a skills assessment tool as a way to determine your strengths and levels, get one that is specifically made for individual use. On the other hand, if you are purchasing an assessment tool to use with a group, such as employees or students, only consider a skill assessment that is designed for group use. It’s also a good idea to buy only one assessment tool tailored to a specific performance group, such as a job skills assessment for employees or a job skills assessment tool for volunteers.
Before purchasing a skills assessment tool, ask if there are any sample tools you can try before you buy. Often vendors post test samples for testing online or offer them by mail. Unless a skills assessment tool is highly recommended, only buy those that allow you to test the product before you buy it.
