Earlier this week, Lori blogged about content-oriented approaches to test validation. IPAC (the organization formerly known as IPMAAC) recently published an extensive monograph by Charles Sproule on the rationale and research in support of using content validation models in personnel assessment. If you aren’t a member of IPAC, you can request a free copy of the paper here. (Hat tip to Bryan Baldwin of the blog HRTests for the link.)

While you are on the IPAC website, you can also learn a bit more about the organization if you aren’t already familiar as well as the details regarding its upcoming Conference (September 12-16, 2009  in Nashville, TN to be held concurrently with the IPMA-HR Conference). Several of us at pan have been active with this group for a number of years and have presented regularly at its meetings.
