The Cutting Edge

The Cutting Edge

Assessment Centers have been a popular selection tool used by companies over the decades. However, the conventional Assessment Center has typically focused only on evaluating a participant’s current ability level and not the future capabilities or learning potential.

Research suggests that there are ways to make the Assessment Center more dynamic and capture the methods that assess learning potential. The research points towards a new method that includes realistic, interrelated activities which are based on complex problem-solving scenarios that test operational intelligence.

Taking the Assessment Center a step further is the concept of computer-based complex problem solving. In the past, computer-based problem solving has been an individual activity. However, research argues for the increased benefits, added realism and greater success when the computer problem solving takes place as a group activity.

The Scitrain Assessment and Development Centers capture the advancements in Assessment Center research. With a group computer-problem solving situation at the core, our Centers comprise a series of interrelated exercises and role plays that uncover the learning potential of the candidates that participate in it.
