Subject: PTC/MW May Luncheon (Wed., May 11): VIDEO-BASED TESTING AT U.S.
CUSTOMS AND BORDER PROTECTION (CBP)
REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN...FOR THE PTC/MW MAY LUNCHEON
DATE: Wednesday, May 11 (11:30 am - 1:30 pm)
TOPIC: Video-based testing at U.S. Customs and Border Protection
PRESENTERS:

SUMMARY:
The presenters will discuss the practical application of video technology
for assessing applicants for law enforcement officer positions at U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP). As in many law enforcement positions,
incumbents at CBP must have excellent judgment and be exceptionally skilled
at interacting with both the public and co-workers. CBP has developed a
video-based test (VBT) for assessing the judgment and interactional skills
of applicants. The VBT uses video technology to enhance the realism of the
situations presented to applicants as well as applicants' responses to the
situations. The presentation will describe the VBT approach used by CBP,
outline the process for developing VBTs, describe the scoring process,
present psychometric and related evidence in support of the VBT, and provide
practical suggestions to industrial/organizational (I/O) psychologists who
are interested in developing and implementing VBTs.
