After an assessment subject has tested and the test score(s) calculated, a report is sent back from the assessment supplier to the requester. An AssessmentReport document also can be used to report interim status before an order is complete.
An AssessmentReport noun can contain one or more AssessmentResult components. Some assessment packages may consist of multiple tests or have multiple scored results associated with them. An AssessmentResult typically includes an overall score and detailed break-outs of component scores.
In addition to data, a report also may include formatted material, such as an image or pdf. Binary content can be embedded as binary64 encoded data or might be attached or referenced at the URI at which it is located.
Assessment Completion. Assessment completion generally means that the subject has completed testing and that the results have been scored. In some cases, scoring is automated and takes place in real-time immediately after test completion. In the case of other assessments, scoring may need to be completed by qualified human resource (an organizational psychologist or other expert) so that test completion and assessment completion (the return of scored results) may take place at different times. The completion of an assessment may trigger other activities, such as hiring or promotion decisions or the preparation of developmental plans.
Assessment Status Required. Some assessments are completed at the time an applicant applies online and are scored and returned in near real-time. Other assessments must be scheduled so they can be taken at a testing center. Some types of assessments are subject to review by an expert after being scored. After an assessment order has been placed, a hiring manager may want to check the status of an assessment to learn if a particular candidate has scheduled a test, whether testing has taken place, or whether review is pending.
