- (a) The appointing authority shall make reasonable efforts to assess qualified applicants to determine the persons best qualified to perform the duties of a position. To the extent that it is feasible and practicable, an assessment must be designed to fairly predict satisfactory performance of the duties of a position.
(b) An assessment under this section may include
- (1) an evaluation of education, experience, or record of accomplishment;
- (2) an assessment of knowledge, skill, ability, capacity, intelligence, or aptitude;
- (3) an inquiry into any matter related to bona fide occupational qualifications; and
- (4) any combination of these factors reasonably calculated to predict successful performance in the position.
- (c) An appointing authority may utilize tests as an assessment device after approval by the director. Work-related exercises, such as typing exercises and writing samples, do not need review if the exercise is job related.
