Assessment Systems Corporation, a specialist provider of online testing and psychometric assessments, has announced its selection as a vendor to the California Department of Human Resources.
Stillwater, United States - November 17, 2021 /PressCable/ —
The Stillwater, Minnesota-based company will now provide its Assess.ai cloud-based platform for the project, which requires the management of large data banks and alignment with modern psychometric principles such as item response theory and computerized adaptive testing.

With the recent selection of Assess.ai, CalHR will have access to modules such as item authoring, item review, automated item generation, test publishing, online delivery, and automated psychometric reporting. The platform will assist the department in its delivery of hundreds of thousands of tests per year.
Psychometric testing is a relatively broad field, and encompasses all assessments designed to evaluate knowledge, abilities, personality, and/or potential. The applications for such tests are equally diverse, ranging from employment aptitude to academic screening.
Unsurprisingly, developments in psychometric testing have closely mirrored advances in technology. Assessment Systems now incorporates artificial intelligence in its cloud-based solution. The latter was an express requirement of CalHR, and a key factor in its recent selection of Assess.ai.
The system uses advanced algorithms, allowing the calibration of exams with item response theory. The Department will also be able to perform simulation studies, as well as creating adaptive and/or multi-stage tests.
Given the large volume of tests conducted by CalHR each year, it is expected that several other features of Assess.ai will be particularly useful. Modern tools, such as automated item generation, will now allow the creation of multiple question permutations, while a customizable item review workflow will help to ensure quality.
