Hi,
I need to clarify: do you want to design tests or assessment activities?
Designing tests is a process that can be intensive, involving reliability and validity testing. You need a background in tests and measurement, as well as statistical analysis. Perhaps you are looking at designing activities across different grades or levels of employees to measure specific competencies.
My suggestion is to determine the behavioral indicators of each competency you wish to evaluate. Typically, you would expect to see less developed indicators at lower grade levels and a more robust or in-depth demonstration of skilled behavior at higher levels.
For example, let's consider strategic thinking:
- Entry level: The individual is able to identify the strategic goals of their department and understand the impact on their responsibilities by reading the department plan and asking questions of their supervisor.
- Supervisor level: The individual identifies how the department's functions align with the strategic plan and can explain this alignment to subordinates when planning individual performance.
I hope this helps clarify the process for you. Let me know if you need further assistance.
