Yet, organisations extensively rely on psychological assessment results to make important selection and development decisions. Write an essay to present your critical view on the nature and value of psychological assessment. • The nature and purpose of psychological assessment and related constructs (1 short paragraph) Here, you should clarify what psychological assessment is, what we use it for, and why it could be a valuable tool in organizational decision-making. You should also explain all related concepts. Downloaded by Thomas Mboya () lOMoARcPSD| • History of cognitive, personality and behavioural assessment Present a historical perspective on the development and application of psychological assessment in terms of cognitive, personality and behavioural assessment. In your discussion you should also highlight how research gave rise to the development of different psychological measures that are used in the SA work context today – identify at least three to four cognitive and personality measures and briefly explain the evolvement of competency-based assessment and the use of interviews and simulations in terms of behavioural assessment. • Psychological assessment in the multicultural South African context Explain why it is so important to think about assessment in a multicultural context and how test moderators bias test results which lead to unfair assessments. It should be evident that you understand what test moderators are in the SA context and the difference between fairness and bias. • What has been done to enhance the fairness of psychological assessment practices in the South African context In this section you need to critically discuss how the Employment Equity Act regulates and guides fair assessment; and explain how the Psychology profession regulates itself to ensure fair assessment practice. • Conclusion (1 paragraph) Provide a succinct conclusion of the objective of the essay and your main findings.
