HighMatch has a long commitment to developing valid tests for assessing job-related abilities, skills, and traits. To ensure that our research approach adheres to the standards outlined in the Uniform Guidelines on Employee Selection Procedures (UGESP; EEOC, 1978), we regularly conduct assessment development and validation research, which requires the collection of demographic data. We invite all test takers to voluntarily report their gender, ethnicity/race, education, and age.
Why is HighMatch collecting this data?
HighMatch collects this information to ensure the fairness of all HighMatch assessments. This data may also serve as academic research to continually enhance our assessment services. This information will stay confidential, and HighMatch will not use it for any other purposes other than those stated above. The collected information is only accessible to members of our Assessment Team at HighMatch.
How does it work?
Following the assessment completion, participants can voluntarily offer the following demographic information: gender, ethnicity/race, education, and age. All questions are optional, and response options are diverse and inclusive. The participants will be assured that the answers they provide will not affect scoring in any way and collection and analysis of this data is done in accordance with the Uniform Guidelines on Employee Selection Procedures (UGESP; EEOC, 1978).
How will this affect my Berke assessment process?
The demographics data will not be available for the employer to see. All procedures and reports will remain the same. Our analysis shows that the demographics questions add less than one minute to the assessment time. There will be no impact on an employee’s assessment if they choose not to answer any of these questions. The information collected does not affect scoring in any way.
