Situational judgment tests(SJTs) have been used in the health professions as a strategy to evaluate social and behavioral attributes across multiple disciplines, including pharmacy. Situational judgment tests include written or video-based assessments that present hypothetical scenarios intended to measure a specific construct. The examinee is asked how they should respond to the scenario, which is expected to be indicative of their behavior in practice.

Les TJS constituent des instruments d'évaluation qui soumettent aux candidats une variété de descriptions de situations qu'ils peuvent rencontrer lors de l'accomplissement d'une fonction définie a priori. Chaque situation hypothétique est accompagnée de propositions qui permettent d'y répondre. Le candidat est invité à indiquer, parmi ces propositions, la réponse qu'il choisirait [...] Différentes modalités sont classiquement utilisées pour apprécier le jugement du candidat : choix de la proposition la plus efficiente, choix combiné des propositions les plus et moins efficientes ou encore estimation de l'efficience relative des différentes propositions [...]

English

Subject field(s)
  • Estimating (Construction)
  • Real Estate
DEF

An appraisal method that is one of four techniques to arrive at the value of a parcel of land and is normally applied when comparable sales are not available to use the more popular direct comparison approach.

OBS

The appraiser must construct a hypothetical plan of subdivision or a building design based on the highest and best use, determine the sale price of the eventual development, evaluate costs associated with time delays, e. g., debt service, servicing costs, and marketing costs, and arrive at a final estimate of the price that a developer would pay in light of such future anticipated gains. Given the wide range of assumptions, this approach has limited use, but may be the only method to arrive at a value or range of value for a specific property.

OBS

Other methods of site valuation include: Abstraction Method-Site Valuation, Comparative Sales Method-Site Valuation, and Land Residual Method-Side Valuation.
