Competency Categorising Through Responses in In-Basket Exercises

The traditional assessment centre relies on assessors’ judgments.  It seems there is a trend of prevailing use of low fidelity assessment to reduce the bias from assessors.  Therefore, it is important to set up an objective scoring standard to assess competencies in exercises.  The presentation will discuss how it formulates a competency cluster through reactions from subject matter experts in an in-basket exercise.  It will discuss how the rough set theory is applied as an analysis method.
