Is the assessment tool accurate and valid?
Yes. This assessment tool was developed by Office of Personnel Management (OPM) experts in test applicant design. To develop this tool, they conducted a job analysis of the Food Inspector occupation by gathering data regarding food inspection tasks, determining important competencies needed to perform food inspection work, and determining specific behaviors which are indicative of successful job performance. From this comprehensive data, OPM prepared a series of questions which address important job competencies for the food inspection occupation.
