E. Finalize the Structured Oral Interview <br /> <br />After the oral interview workshops we will finalize the structured oral <br />interview by revising the materials. We will produce customized, master <br />documentation for the City including a write-up of each situational question <br />along with the "strong" and "weak" responses, the behaviorally-anchored <br />rating scale for each ability being measured and the scoring instructions and <br />scoring sheets. Complete instructions on how to rate and score each <br />candidate will be included. <br /> <br />Administering the Structured Oral Interview <br /> <br />Choosing the oral board members and administering the interview will be the <br />responsibility of the City. An estimated cost for assistance in this area <br />is available upon request. <br /> <br /> Biddle & Associates' Software System <br /> <br /> In administering the oral interview, the City may be <br /> interested in obtaining software to assist with this <br /> effort. Biddle & Associates has software specifically <br /> designed to score and analyze test results. The Rater <br /> Analysis program identifies if a rater or oral board is <br /> scoring inconsistently. Those scores can be pinpointed <br /> and eliminated, then the ratings re-scored in order to <br /> provide the most consistent, fair and reliable scoring <br /> possible. The Rater Analysis program is one of six <br /> programs in the Technical Selection module of Biddle & <br /> Associates Software System. Other programs included in <br /> the Technical Selection module are: test scoring, item <br /> analysis, statistical cutoff, job-related cutoff, and <br /> standard scoring. This module is available for $840 which <br /> includes the software license, operator's manuals, help <br /> screens, and self-paced training cassettes. In all, there <br /> are seventeen programs in Biddle & Associates' Software <br /> System, including a tracking module (applicant, layoff, <br /> eligibility list, training), EEO/AAP module (adverse <br /> impact analysis and affirmative action planning) and a <br /> Classification and Compensation module (automated job <br /> description database and labor market salary comparison). <br /> The full system licenses for $2,520. See Attachment #9 <br /> for a description of the software system. <br /> <br /> Also available with the Software System are machine- <br /> readable answer sheets that can be automatically scored <br /> with the SCANTRON 1400 optical mark reader with read head <br /> option 1. With these answer sheets, multiple choice tests <br /> can be read through the scanner and automatically scored. <br /> Our programs will score the tests, produce three different <br /> score reports and set up files to automatically perform <br /> <br />Biddle & Associates 5 8/31/88 <br /> <br /> <br />
