2 Test Validity Professional a regulatory guidelines for personnel selection exam inations include e Uniform Guidelines on Em ployee Selection Procedures a e Principles for Validation a Use of Personnel Selection Procedures. These guidelines require at personnel selection exams be validated by what is known as criterion or content validation strategies. Criterion validation is a dem onstration at scores on e test are correlated directly wi job performance or training academ y perform ance. Content validity focuses on e relationship between e content of e test a e content of e job. Furer, validity (criterion a content) considers bo exam adm inistration a exam outcom e factors. Donnoe & Associates written test for Entry Firefighter (F-201) is designed to predict training academ y perform ance. W e have statistical criterion related validity evidence to support is test. Validity reports are available upon request. Most of our exam products including Stock W ritten Tests, Build-A-Test a Custom W ritten Tests, as well as oral exams, perform ance exams a assessm ent centers involve measurem ent of job knowledge or ability. These types of tests are best supported by content validity. For ese tests we work closely wi you, our client, to ensure at e content of e test is based on e job (job analysis, consultation on test assembly, a exam review by your subject matter experts). W e provide test adm inistration guidance including proctoring directions, a we offer scoring services as well as consultation on test score interpretation a passing scores, all at no additional fee. These steps, ensure at e exam inations provided to your agency are valid a will be administered in a fair a consistent manner. It is also important to note at a valid exam plan will go beyo a written test, a will normally include oer elements, such as an oral exam, a performance test or an assessment center. This also includes not placing too much emphasis (exam weights) on measurement of abilities a knowledge rough a written test; here we typically recomme at a written test be weighted less an half of e overall exam plan. W e would be pleased to assist your agency wi exam planning or to provide consultation on how to best use our tests. Telephone (916) Toll Free (877) 22-EXAMS exams@ donnoe.com 2

This test is designed to assist agencies to select caidates for entry to a fire academ y. For ose agencies at require caidates to possess a Firefighter I certificate before testing, see our Skilled Firefighter tests (F-221 a F-222). Validity evidence for Donnoe & Associates, Inc. s Entry Firefighter written test includes content a criterion evidence. This test was initially designed arou a content validity strategy. Test construction was guided by e results of a taskoriented job analysis in one large agency, a confirmed in later multiple job analysis studies wi oer large agencies. Next, e test was adm inistered to a sam ple of greater an 200 incum bent Firefighters, supervisory perform ance ratings were collected, a e test was correlated wi job perform ance. This is referred to as criterion validity, using a concurrent sam ple. The observed uncorrected validity coefficients from is study include: (1) correlation between is test a supervisory ratings of overall iividual Firefighter s job perform ance =.2262 (p<.001); a (2) correlation between is test a supervisory ratings of iividual Firefighter s overall ability =.3074 (p<.001). As most agencies are aware, ere is a teency for caidates to agency hop a take entry firefighter exams whenever ey are offered. Because of is we have developed alternate forms of is test, a we closely monitor where is test is used, en avoid having neighboring agencies use e same version of e test. This assists in m aintaining exam security, a reducing e possibility at an iividual caidate would be advantaged, or disadvantaged by e process.
