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 t he ad missions setting. The advent of generative AI has further reduced the value of reference letters and personal statements-many","cbCaihXpZLJt8Nka","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaihXpZLJt8Nka","pdf",3368669,153,"English","# Preface\n# Introduction\n## Intended Purpose and Use\n## A Note on the Changing Structure of the Casper Test\n## Test Structure\n## What a Casper Score Tells You\n# Overview of Situational Judgement Tests\n## Situational Judgement Test (SJT)\n## Behavioural Tendency Questions\n## Open-Ended Responses\n# CHAPTER 1: RELIABILITY\n## Reliability Summary\n## Internal Consistency Reliability\n## Inter-Rater Reliability\n## Parallel Forms Reliability\n## Generalizability\n# CHAPTER 2: VALIDITY\n## Chapter Outline\n## Content Validity\n## Structural Validity\n## Convergent Validity\n## Discriminant Validity","[{\"question\":\"What is the Casper test and how does it assess responses?\",\"answer\":\"Casper is a situational judgment test (SJT) that presents hypothetical scenarios and evaluates responses using open-ended formats, including both video and text scenarios.\"},{\"question\":\"What reliability evidence does the manual discuss for Casper scores?\",\"answer\":\"The manual covers internal consistency, standard error of measurement, inter-rater reliability, parallel forms and test-retest reliability, and generalizability.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the manual describe Casper’s validity and fairness across groups?\",\"answer\":\"It details evidence for content, face, structural, convergent, discriminant, and construct-irrelevant validity, and examines demographic differences while outlining steps to mitigate test-level bias.\"}]","Casper Technical Manual | PDF",1790658399,386]
