TalentSIM Simulation Proves to be a Valid Predictor of Manager Success
Validation results demonstrate a strong relationship between the TalentSIM Leadership Assessment and job performance.
April 4, 2009
MAITLAND, FL – Censeo Corporation, a leading provider of innovative employee assessment technologies, is pleased to announce that the criterion-related validation study of Censeo's TalentSIM Leadership Assessment showed a strong relationship between assessment scores and leadership performance. The study, conducted over a 6 month period, involved a large sample of leaders from seven major organizations across a variety of industries.
Commenting on the results of the validation study, Dr. Ronald Gross, CEO of Censeo Corporation, stated "The correlation coefficient between TalentSIM's total assessment score and overall job performance was .35 -- a correlation that establishes TalentSIM as one of the most predictive managerial skills assessments available in the market. Furthermore, the research not only showed we could predict overall leadership performance, but also the seven competencies the leadership assessment measures. Our current and future clients can have high confidence that TalentSIM will be legally-defensible and highly valuable when used for both selection and development purposes."
TalentSIM is an online assessment, based on job simulation technology, designed to measure leadership skills. It's similar to an assessment center in that participants take on the role of five managers in five different companies, and are confronted with a variety of realistic and challenging situations -- problems to solve, decisions to be made, goals to be set, etc. At various points participants are prompted as to how they would respond to those situations. TalentSIM is a 100% online solution, with immediate scoring and reporting after the leadership assessment is completed.
Due to its innovative use of technology and its validity, TalentSIM is quickly garnering the attention of industry experts as well as organizations looking for valid, cost-effective methods to select and develop leaders during this challenging economic climate. Dr. Charles Handler, a renowned expert in technology-based assessments, noted in a recent publication that, "Censeo Corporation has recently come out with one of the first simulation tools that begins to offer a peek at the future of managerial hiring... Beyond this product, a gap begins to be revealed in the ability to use technology to create simulations for advanced jobs."
