According to the US Department of Labor all assessment tools used to make employment decisions are subject to professional and legal standards. For example, both the evaluation of a resume and the use of a highly standardized achievement test must comply with applicable laws. Assessment tools used solely for career exploration or counseling are usually not held to the same legal standards. Tests, inventories, and procedures are assessment tools that may be used to measure an individual’s abilities, values, and personality traits. Some of the assessment tools recognized by the US Department of Labor are:
- Observations
- Resume evaluations
- Application questionnaires
- Biodata inventories
- Interviews
- Work samples/performance tests
- Achievement tests
- General, specific, and physical ability tests
- Personality inventories
- Honesty/integrity inventories
- Interest inventories
- Work values inventories
- Assessment centers
- Drug tests
- Medical tests
