Validity Evidence for the Use of CASPer in Admissions Decisions and Prediction of Performance Within an Occupational Therapy Program

Strong academic and interpersonal skills are required to succeed as a health professional. Casper, an online situational judgement test that assesses personal and professional characteristics, is used in admissions to health professions programs. This validity study explores the incremental validity of Casper over GPA for predicting student performance and how Casper could be used to impact the diversity of a cohort selected for admission to an occupational therapy program.
