A wide range of customized assessment tools can be developed and validated to meet specific agency needs with regard to employee selection, promotion, and development for both leadership and non-leadership positions. The assessments are developed by highly trained OPM Personnel Research Psychologists and are ideal for situations in which an agency wishes to develop assessment tools for mission-specific occupations. Once developed, these assessment tools are "owned" by the agency. Customized assessments that OPM develops for exclusive agency use include:
- Accomplishment Records
- Assessment Centers
- Biographical Information Inventories
- Cognitive Tests
- In-basket Exercises
- Job Knowledge Tests
- Situational Judgment Tests
- Structured Interviews
- Work Samples
- Writing Assessments
