ABSTRACT
The Guidelines and Ethical Considerations for Assessment Center Operations (hereafter referred to as the Guidelines) put forth by the International Task Force on Assessment Center Guidelines (2009) give a prominent role to two aspects of the assessment center (AC) method: dimensions and job-related simulations (i.e., exercises). According to the Guidelines, dimensions should be a result of a job analysis used to determine behaviors that are important for job success. These dimensions should reflect meaningful and relevant categories. During the AC, these categories are then used to classify behaviors that are displayed by AC participants in the different exercises.
