POWER AND PERFORMANCE MEASURES

1 POWER AND PERFORMANCE MEASURES The PPM is designed to provide a measure of both one s potential and current skill level in a wide range of occupational settings. (Jim Barrett, The Test Agency) The battery consists of nine separate tests. 1. Applied Power Test measures one s ability to solve problems through logical reasoning. It does not depend on prior knowledge Processing Speed Test requires accuracy in recognizing a stimulus and responding to it. This is a clerical test that reveals an ability to order data systematically Mechanical Understanding Test is a test of an individual's understanding of the basic principles of dynamics, presented in the form of mechanical devices and situations involving forces Numerical Computation Test requires the application of the basic rules of numeracy. Problems are presented in the accepted mathematical sequence. Experience shows that people who really are numerate perform well on this test even though they may have forgotten about mental arithmetic Numeric Reasoning Test requires an understanding of the relationships between sets of numbers. It is a good predictor of academic performance as well as an indicator of an individual's ability to solve problems involving numbers Spatial Ability Test is a test of the ability to visualize objects in three dimensions. Problems are presented two-dimensionally and subjects must rotate and turn over shapes in the mind's eye." 9. Perceptual Reasoning Test is a reasoning test based on non-verbal principles and is predictive for areas involving science and technology. 8. Verbal Comprehension Test is a good academic predictor as well as a measure of current verbal proficiency. It is a measure of comprehension of an increasingly complex vocabulary. 9. Verbal Reasoning Test measures the ability to deduce or extrapolate conclusions by logical reasoning even in the absence of specific information. It is a good predictor of occupational level and is a useful indicator of the ability to understand and communicate. Paper-Based Administration: The battery is simple to administer, instructions for each test are included in both the Technical Manual and the Question Booklet. Answer sheets have built-in scoring keys, making them selfscoring. The Technical Manual contains full details of the battery's development as well as reliability and validity data. Norm tables include norms for specific job groups as well as general and manager populations. Organization Management & Development Systems, Inc. 301 Armon s Bldg.
