A Critical Look at Leadership Assessment - Can They Do Harm? 

1-2pm

Room 136, Ramseyer Hall

Personal assessments are used widely on college campuses and in leadership/career development. They also continue to be a part of professional development in the workforce. Sometimes students/employees are given a choice to participate and sometimes assessment are mandatory. Typically, assessments are presented as a helpful tool grounded in research, but in reality, many assessments are not widely supported by research. Additionally, the results may not be applicable or supported for marginalized populations or are impacted by bias and stereotypes. It is incredibly important that we learn about the critiques of assessments as consumers of this data as we learn more about ourselves. Come learn how to utilize and interpret assessments through a lens of ethics and care.
