Introduction
The course gives participants a basic introduction to how the tests can be used in the workplace, both in selection and development. There will be an introduction to the necessary statistical concepts and methods. Different selection methods and their reliability will be reviewed. As a background for understanding and predicting human behaviour, an introduction will be given to the most important approaches to personality and intelligence. The course will also examine the use of tests in practice, and illuminate the ethical aspects of test use. Passing the course will be required to attempt the certification exam at Det Norske Veritas (DNV) on the use of psychological tests in the workplace.
