What is this assessment based on and how reliable is it?

The content of each question has been considered by procurement consultants and practitioners in Australia and United Kingdom to ensure relevance, reliability and validity of the assessment.



Note

As you work through the assessment you may find themes that are not directly relevant to your current role. This is likely to happen for many people as this diagnostic considers a broad range of procurement capabilities.
It has purposefully been designed not to be role specific, instead it seeks to understand the procurement capability as a whole. Your results will later be mapped to the capabilities required for the role performance and will be used to support in developing your learning plans.
With this assessment there are no incorrect answers.
