What is the connection between the JA Survey and the credentialing test that will be developed based on the survey results?
Part of the Job Analysis is a survey of “job behaviors” or tasks that make up the work of the profession. The results of the survey are used to develop test items that represent work behaviors that human services professionals actually do. To be credible, a test must be based on actual job performance. Since the Job Analysis Survey finds out exactly where human services professionals work and the components of their jobs, it helps the “test developers” create an exam that reflects the profession.
