Whether it’s a knowledge-based math quiz or a personal values survey, different tests assess candidates for different things. Tests can help a leader measure the skills and fit of potential team members. In this assignment, you’ll compare three widely-used, reputable, professional assessment tools and choose which of them is the best to apply in a specific hiring scenario. By exploring and comparing candidate assessment tools, you will prepare to complete the task of evaluating and selecting candidates for specific positions. You will receive feedback on this assignment that helps you prepare for the assignments in Weeks 7 and 10.InstructionsDownload the document Week 5 Assessment Tools [DOCX], and read about the three assessment tools: the DiSC assessment, the Cognitive Criteria Aptitude Test (CCAT), and the Emotional Intelligence Appraisal.Read each hiring scenario (these are also included in the document):Scenario 1: Your human resources department needs to hire a new Employee Relations Manager (ERM). This person’s job is to manage conflict and workplace issues between managers and employees across three separate departments. The ERM must be able to handle disgruntled employees and managers with compassion, discretion, and professionalism in situations where tempers may run high.Scenario 2: You need one more person on a team you’re putting together to launch a new tech startup business. You want to make sure this person’s personality balances out with the others you’ve already hired. Specifically, you’re looking for someone enthusiastic and outgoing, but also detail-oriented and focused.Scenario 3: You’re hiring a new financial analyst for your organization. This position needs an individual with strong problem-solving and reasoning skills as well as in-depth mathematical abilities.For each scenario, compare the three assessment tools, and decide which one would be the most effective in evaluating a candidate for the position. Write an answer for each scenario in one well-developed paragraph in which you identify the most effective tool and explain why it is more appropriate than the other tools.

A study was done looking at communication between adolescents with asthma and their health care provider. Forty-six providers from four pediatric practices in  

North Carolina agreed to participate in the study. Two clinics were in rural areas and two were in suburban areas of North Carolina. Adolescent patients who  

agreed to participate were randomized, along with their caregiver, into either the intervention group or the usual care group. The intervention group watched a  

video on an iPad and then completed an asthma question prompt list before their visits. All visits were audiotape recorded. A secondary analysis of transcripts  

from these medical visits of adolescents, ages 11-17 years, discovered that 44% (81 out of 185) of the adolescents and/or their providers from the intervention  

group discussed tobacco smoking in a visit versus 32% (56 out of 174) in the control group.

From these results we can compute 3 different 95% confidence intervals using the sample proportions (p) from this study.  

a) For estimate, pi = 0.44, 95% CI: (0.37, 0.51)

b) For estimate, pc = 0.32, 95% CI: (0.25, 0.39)

c) For estimate, pi – pc = 0.44 -0.32 = 0.12, 95% CI: 0.02, 0.22)

Prompt: After reading the short paper scenario and using the information provided, complete the steps below.

Part I

1. Describe the population that this sample was selected from.

2. Write out the research question that can be answered by the confidence interval (CI) in (a).

3. Describe in words the population parameter that is being estimated by the confidence interval in (a).

4. What is the margin of error for the confidence interval in (a)?

5. Interpret the CI in (a) using your own words. What answer is it giving us in regard to the research question?

Part II

1. Write out the research question that can be answered by the confidence interval in (c).

2. Describe in words the population parameter that is being estimated by the confidence interval in (c).

3. What is the margin of error for the confidence interval in (c)?

4. Interpret the confidence

:  interval in (c) using your own words. What answer is it giving us in regard to the research question?

Follow the instructions below on the evaluation to complete the journal. Take the ideology survey 

then come back and answer the questions below.

 1. What was your ideology?

 2. Do you agree with the test results, or have you always thought you possessed a different ideology?

 3. Did you like the evaluation? Why or why not?

Section 2

1) Go to the website of a large interest group such as the AARP or the NRA and identify the types of incentives they offer their members.

2) Assume you are a member of Congress and now must cast the deciding vote on a very controversial issue. If you knew that your position was contrary to that held by the majority of the people in your district, would you vote in accordance with your beliefs or their interests?

3) Political philosophers such as Plato and Edmund Burke believe that political leaders are often forced to lie to protect the public. (ie, knowledge of a terrorist cell or plot.) Do you agree with this? Does a Christian politician have a right to lie if revealing the truth might cause harm?

4) Should politicians be held to higher standards than “normal” people? Do you hold politicians to higher standards than you hold yourself? Is that okay?
