How are assessment scores typically normalized across different candidates in AON assessments?

Assessment scores in AON assessments are typically normalized by comparing results against a normative group. This process involves evaluating an individual's performance in relation to a defined set of scores from a relevant population or sample. By using a normative group, AON can provide context to a candidate's score, illustrating how they performed relative to others who have taken the same assessment. This approach helps to mitigate variability in performance due to factors such as assessment difficulty or candidate capabilities, allowing for a more accurate interpretation of an individual's strengths and weaknesses.

Normalizing scores in this manner provides meaningful insights, as candidates are assessed not only on their raw scores but also on how those scores fit within the broader landscape of candidates' performances. This method provides a clearer picture of a candidate’s potential and suitability for a role by utilizing empirical data to inform decisions, rather than relying on arbitrary measures or purely subjective judgments.
