,RIMS-CRMP Q1-20 CORE COMPETENCIES & BUSINESS MODEL
Questions 1–20: Core Competencies, Business Model
Analysis & Risk Strategy
1 The RIMS-CRMP certification is designed for:
A Risk management professionals seeking to demonstrate expertise in analyzing and managing
organizational risks
B Insurance agents selling commercial policies
C Financial auditors reviewing accounting records
D Human resources professionals managing employee benefits
CORRECT ANSWER
A — Risk management professionals demonstrating organizational risk expertise
RATIONALE
The RIMS-CRMP credential validates that a risk professional possesses the knowledge and skills
necessary to analyze organizational business models, design risk strategies, implement risk
management processes, develop organizational risk competency, and support decision-making
through risk analysis. It is not limited to insurance or compliance functions but encompasses the
full strategic scope of enterprise risk management.
,2 How many core competencies are assessed in the RIMS-CRMP examination?
A Five essential skills for risk professionals
B Three technical domains
C Seven management areas
D Ten operational functions
CORRECT ANSWER
A — Five essential skills
RATIONALE
The five core competencies are: Analyzing the Business Model, Designing Organizational Risk
Strategies, Implementing the Risk Process, Developing Organizational Risk Competency, and
Supporting Decision Making. These competencies are weighted differently in the examination
and reinforce one another — strength in one area supports effectiveness in the others.
3 Analyzing the Business Model involves:
A Assessment of organizational structures and strategies to understand how the organization
creates value
B Reviewing employee performance evaluations
C Calculating the organization's tax liability
D Designing marketing campaigns for new products
CORRECT ANSWER
A — Assessment of structures and strategies for value creation
RATIONALE
Understanding the business model is foundational to effective risk management. The risk
professional must comprehend how the organization creates, delivers, and captures value — its
key activities, resources, partners, customer segments, and revenue streams. Without this
understanding, risk assessment cannot be properly aligned with organizational objectives.
, 4 A Job Task Analysis in the context of the RIMS-CRMP examination is:
A A study of tasks performed by risk management professionals to validate exam content
relevance
B A review of individual employee performance
C An analysis of job market trends for risk managers
D A comparison of salary levels across industries
CORRECT ANSWER
A — Study of professional tasks to validate exam content
RATIONALE
The Job Task Analysis is a systematic study that identifies the knowledge, skills, and abilities
required for competent performance as a risk management professional. The results directly
inform the examination blueprint, ensuring that test questions reflect actual professional practice
rather than theoretical knowledge alone.
5 Psychometric validation of the RIMS-CRMP exam refers to:
A Assessment of the examination's psychological measurement properties to ensure fairness and
reliability
B Evaluation of candidates' psychological fitness for risk management roles
C Measurement of candidate stress levels during testing
D Analysis of personality traits associated with risk management success
CORRECT ANSWER
A — Assessment of psychological measurement properties for fairness
RATIONALE
Psychometric validation ensures that the examination measures what it claims to measure — risk
management competency — and does so consistently across candidates and administrations.
This scientific approach to test development distinguishes professional certifications from
informal assessments and ensures that the credential carries meaningful weight in the
marketplace.
