Developed by Douglas N. Jackson, PhD, an international expert in personnel assessment, the SSSO (Sigma Survey
for Security Officers) test helps evaluate the candidate’s skills in two critical areas. The Incident Report Writing section helps evaluate the candidate’s ability to write effective incident reports by assessing grammar and spelling skills. The Problem Solving section helps measure the candidate’s use of appropriate judgment by presenting scenarios requiring a decision by a security officer. Containing job-specific items, the SSSO test provides a relevant, reliable tool to help select and place qualified security professionals.
How to Use This Test
Security administrators and hiring managers can use the SSSO assessment to help:
- Select candidates with the practical problem-solving ability required to solve on-the-job problems arising in security incidents and to act appropriately and with sound judgment
- Select candidates with the skills to write meaningful, credible incident reports that may become permanent records in investigations and court proceedings
Key Features
- Test items have been carefully selected for job relevance, increasing the instrument’s acceptability to candidates and employers and its ability to withstand legal challenges.
- Easy-to-read results compare candidates to a large database of security officer candidates.
- The self-administered SSSO test takes only 30 minutes to complete.
- Automated fax-in scoring service, available 24/7, enables timely receipt of results.
The SSSO test was normed on a contemporary sample of 4,729 job candidates applying for the position of security officer. These data were gathered from a wide range of geographical locations in the United States.
The SSSO overall score is expressed as a percentile for quick comparison to other security officer candidates. The overall score is based on the scores on the following sections:
- Total Writing Aptitude
- Spelling
- Grammar and Punctuation
