Custom Assessments

Composite Assessments will enable TeckChek clients to build assessments around a particular job description rather than a single technology. Most of TeckChek’s current assessments are designed to measure proficiency in a given technology. However, sometimes a particular job description might incorporate skills in several technologies. Composite assessments can reflect required proficiency in multiple technologies and thus serve as an assessment tool for the specific job description.
Every traditional TeckChek assessment for a specific technology breaks its questions and analysis into 12-18 sub-topics within the technology. Using the Composite feature, TeckChek clients would be able to select the exact desired sub-topics from each technology required within a job description. Like a standard TeckChek assessment, Composite assessments will provide scores for overall proficiency, practical experience, conceptual understanding and book knowledge as well as a detailed breakdown of strength/weakness in each of the sub-topics covered by the assessment.

Ken Strauss, Director of Assessment Consulting for TeckChek, stated “The ability to select specific question topics from multiple technologies makes TeckChek’s Composite assessment an ideal tool to identify and qualify individuals with the appropriate proficiency in all the technologies and topics required of a particular job description.”
