Occupational Questionnaires
Questions and answers
Refer to the job analysis data for that position and select those competencies that are 1) critical (review the Need at Entry, Distinguishing Value and Importance ratings), and 2) measurable.
Also, check that the selected competencies (or content areas) measure only one competency and relate to the position. A general rule of thumb is to select 4 – 8 competencies or content areas.
