7-1 Discussion: Assessments in
Professional Organizations
For this discussion, you will describe the role of assessments for
professional organizations making selection, placement, training, and
performance evaluation decisions. Then you will discuss what steps
organizations should take to avoid abuses such as marginalization.
Consider the role psychological tests play in a professional workplace.
Some people argue against using these tests at all in a work
environment, while others argue for using them under the right
circumstances.
In your initial post, describe one way that professional organizations
could use psychological assessments to make employment decisions. Is
the current practice fair to everyone? Why or why not? Support your
analysis with insights from this week’s required readings.
