Idealogic SA and Barcelona University’s Psychometry Department have obtained a concessionary loan from the Industrial Technology Development Centre for development, in C, of a generator of computer adaptive tests for personnel selection: the tests will be run on computers on a local area network with wide area gateways to access tests carried out in other places, and the company claims to be able to offer immediate and objective, context-free evaluation of the knowledge and aptitudes of individuals; this type of test is heralded as a great step forward for institutions and organisations that at present use standard selection procedures.
