Interrater reliability in situational tests

Abstract

A STUDY WAS CONDUCTED TO DETERMINE THE DEGREE OF INTERRATER RELIABILITY IN SITUATIONAL TESTS AND THE RELATIVE EFFECTIVENESS OF PROFESSIONAL AND NONPROFESSIONAL EVALUATORS IN THIS TYPE OF SITUATION. THE RESULTS INDICATE THAT THE RELIABILITY OF O RATINGS AND RANKINGS IS REASONABLY HIGH IN SEVERAL DIFFERENT SITUATIONAL TESTS. OF PARTICULAR SIGNIFICANCE IS THE FINDING THAT ADEQUATE RELIABILITY CAN BE OBTAINED FROM THE USE OF NONPROFESSIONAL EVALUATORS IN BUSINESS-ORIENTED SITUATIONAL TESTS.
