There are two issues that relate to employment testing in the context of the Americans with Disabilities Act. First, all persons must be provided reasonable accommodation to take the assessment. Second, the instrument must be incapable of assessing psychological or behavioral disorders. Providing Reasonable Accommodation The Caliper Profile is an untimed assessment with a user-friendly format that provides reasonable accommodations to all persons regardless of mental or physical disabilities. Should one of your candidates require any special accommodation, please contact your Caliper consultant for assistance. Caliper Profile Predictive Capabilities The only assessments in violation of ADA statutes are those that are capable of measuring psychological or behavioral disorders. The Caliper Profile is an employment assessment whose sole focus is on predicting work behavior. It is not capable of assessing psychological or behavioral disorders, nor is it ever used in that manner.
