Apa sih assessment centre itu?

An Assessment Center can be defined as "a variety of testing techniques designed to allow candidates to demonstrate, under standardized conditions, the skills and abilities that are most essential for success in a given job" (Coleman, 1987). 

 Assessment centers allow candidates to demonstrate more of their skills through a number of job relevant situations (Joiner, 1984).  

The term "assessment center" is really a catch-all term that can consist of some or all of a variety of exercises. Assessment centers usually have some sort of in-basket exercise which contains contents similar to those which are found in the in-basket for the job which is being tested. Other possibilities include oral exercises, counseling simulations, problem analysis exercises, interview simulations, role play exercises, written report/analysis exercises, and leaderless group exercises (Coleman, 1987; Filer, 1979; Joiner, 1984).

  
Dari beberapa definisi di atas dapat disimpulkan bahwa metode assessment center terdiri atas multiple evaluation techniques, termasuk didalamnya job related simulations, interview dan beberapa tes psikologis. 

Beberapa metode / teknik  yang umum digunakan dalam Assessment Center adalah:
• In-basket exercises
• Group discussions
• Simulations of interviews with “subordinates”or “clients”
• Fact-finding exercises
• Analysis/decision-making problems
• Oral presentation exercises
• Written communication exercises
