Do the Promotion Batteries test for particular supervisory/management styles?
The Promotion Test Battery problems are developed with the assistance of subject matter experts from a wide variety of state agencies. The simulation problems developed for the battery are designed to reflect situations that a supervisor or a manager could face in any state agency. The simulations are not designed to test any particular theory or set of management principles, but rather are designed to present “real life” situations and are keyed for the actions that the subject matter experts have indicated are positive across all state agencies.
