How do you evaluate a candidates understanding of the Genealogical Proof Standard and her/his ability to use it in solving difficult research problems?
Professionalism, knowledge of sources and research techniques for a specific area, as well as proven skill at research and client report writing when given set time limits, is the standard by which ICAPGen measures its candidates. The Genealogical Proof Standard is worthy of study and contemplation by any serious genealogist. However, it is not necessarily the best measuring stick for ICAPGen tests or applications.

In cases limited to a few hours such as you would face on an Accredited Genealogist test, it is not always practical to fully implement an exhaustive search. But the citation and skillful analysis criteria of the Genealogical Proof Standard play an important role at ICAPGen. At the same time, these higher order skills cannot be tested using multiple-choice tests. Therefore, ICAPGen uses real research case study qu
