Dr. Kelly Dore and Dr. Harold Reiter (the Casper test creators) recognized that of the thousands of applicants to medical schools only a small percentage of them were being evaluated for these skills prior to interview. While reference letters, CVs and personal statements all try to give insight into the applicant beyond “book smarts,” they fail to give a reliable differentiation between candidates in the admissions setting, and ontop of this are burdensome to evaluate.  \nCasper is a unique situational judgment test (SJT) that provides test takers with a series of hypothetical scenarios and assesses the individu","cbCaiq2Q8BW0DY2a","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiq2Q8BW0DY2a","pdf",2560660,154,"English","# Preface\n# Introduction\n## Intended Purpose and Use\n## Test Structure\n# CHAPTER 1: RELIABILITY\n## Reliability Summary\n## Reliability Conclusions\n# CHAPTER 2: VALIDITY\n## Content, Structural, and Convergent Validity\n## Predictive Validity and Demographic Equity\n## References","[{\"question\":\"What is the Casper test intended to measure?\",\"answer\":\"Casper is designed to evaluate applicants’ personal and professional characteristics through responses to hypothetical scenarios, focusing on reasoning and social-competency aspects rather than only technical knowledge.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the manual describe Casper’s test format and scoring?\",\"answer\":\"The manual outlines a situational judgement approach using open-ended responses, includes both video and text scenarios, and discusses scoring by independent raters under time-limited conditions.\"},{\"question\":\"What kinds of evidence does the manual provide for reliability and validity?\",\"answer\":\"It summarizes internal consistency, measurement error, inter-rater reliability, parallel forms and test-retest reliability, and generalizability for reliability.
