On Applied Pattern Of Case Analysis In Situation Simulation Test

Situation Simulation Test( SST) is an effective method in recruitment. In order to explore more scientific methods of assessment and selecting of government officers, the study of SST are being organized by some departments in our country. One of the methods of SST is Case Analysis(CA). To probe into an applied pattern that can push the study and application of SST forward in assessment and government officer selecting, starting from theory study, we have done a practical experiment for the applied pattern of C A.The study suggests:(1) There are 7 parts in the applied pattern of CA: job analysis and assessment factor ascertaining, case material collecting, case and case questionnaire designing, norm of assessment and way of rating ascertaining, case test administrating, the rater training and rating, effect of CA validating. Case designing and norm of assessment ascertaining are cores of the pattern. The pattern is preciseness, scientific, and practical.(2) A Case Analysis Questionnaire which includes three cases is designed in the study, and the principle, essential, and contradiction of case designing are summed up. Brief norm with assessment points and way of second-marking are more practical. The assessment group consisting of psychologists, experienced specialists, and human resource managers can do the job of assessment better.(3 ) Four indicators which are capacity of analysis, plan, forecast, and organization are significantly correlative with their criterions. It is more difficult to assess competences of personality than that of capacity.(4) Reliability of the questionnaire of CA is good, validity is also acceptable. The statistic difference of some indicators is significant between psychologists and experience specialists. Years of work affect some capacities of testee to some extent...
