Seminar on New Technologies in Assessment and Measurement

The Eighth Seminar of the Chair Psychometric Applications and Models, funded by the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid and the Instituto de Ingeniería del Conocimiento, will be held on the 24th of June. The main commitment of the Chair is to disseminate innovations and good practices in testing among Spanish Organizational Psychology professionals. To achieve this goal, our central activity is a seminar we organize every June/July. The seminar starts at 9 am, ends at about 2 pm, and has three parts: the invited conference, posters and coffee, and three more talks/case studies. We choose every year a central topic.  The last three (an invited speaker) have been these:  “Situational Judgment Testing (Prof. F. Lievens)”,“The Prediction of  Performance at Work (Prof. A. M. Ryan)” and “Improving Selection: from Theory to Practice (Prof. P. Sackett) ”. This year topic is “New Technologies in Assessment and Measurement”.
