3.1. Contents of CAPTain Online

CAPTain Online measures an individual’s behavioral attitudes

as they affect his performance at work.

Among these we count:

the way the individual deals with practical tasks, e.g. his

attitude to work, his working speed, self-organisation and detail

orientation;

the way he deals with co-workers, e.g. cooperation, group-

orientation, need for recognition; and

the way he deals with subordinates, e.g. management skills

and ability to influence.

CAPTain distinguishes between the current style of behavior, and the subjective self-image created by wishful thinking.

4. Sample for CAPTain statementsin pair-comparison

The test person cannot proceed to the next pair of statements until he has made a choice. She/he cannot scroll ahead or back, i.e. he cannot leave out questions or go back and change his mind.

Because of the combination of forced choice method and pair- comparisons the test person will find it difficult to manipulate the test.

The CAPTain personnel assessment method is based on the

work done by EDWARDS, THURSTONE and KERLINGER on

the measurement of behavioral attitudes.

In psychological terms, the construction of CAPTain is built

around the personality theory developed by MURRAY.

CAPTain Online is a criteria-oriented test, unlike the usual norm-oriented assessment procedures. Thus the decisive assessment yardstick with CAPTainOnline is to be found in the concrete requirements profile and not in the comparison with some kind of random sample of the population at large.
