The Morris & McDaniel Healthcare Employment Test Battery is a
computerized test battery that greatly reduces the administration workload.
In the typical application, the candidate receives only a brief introduction
from the administrator. All other instruction and testing is accomplished
by the candidate interacting with the computerized test.
Test administration and
management is uncomplicated and requires only basic computer skills such as
facility with a computer mouse.
The hospital battery has been reliably validated to predict the success of an
employee.
The Test
The Test Battery is comprised of either three or four separate tests (the
clerical exam is only given to clerical jobs), each one designed to focus on the
assessment of specific skills and abilities.
The Candidate Self Report (CSR) assesses the integrity, work
ethic, and service orientation of employees, and can be used as a valuable tool
in the hiring process for hospitals. The CSR predicts overall job
performance to a high degree. Validation studies also demonstrate the
CSR's ability to predict success in the following performance dimensions:
- Demonstrating caring and empathy for patients and coworkers
- Attending to the quality concerns in products and
services
- Adhering to hospital policy and procedures
- Maintaining a positive work ethic
- Following hospital safety and health guidelines
- Reacting positively to stressful situations
The Memory for Oral Instructions Exam assesses the candidate's
skills and abilities in following basic oral instructions. This test is
excellent for positions that require the employee to retain a substantial amount
of verbal information.
The Morris Learning Aptitude Test assesses the ability of an
individual to learn new skills and to acquire new knowledge. This test is
effective in measuring the capacity of an employee to learn new procedures on
the job or to adapt to new equipment or software.
The Clerical Exam assesses the ability to effectively handle
tasks common to clerical staff. This test measures a candidate's ability
to edit and identify mistakes in documents, gather information, make logical
decisions, and follow directions.
