2. JEM is particularly useful in developing work sample tests for selection. JEM also
provides for checks on the job analysis through the development of products that were
the impetus for the analysis. For example, a test may be developed. If the test is not
working properly, then the problematic aspect of the test may lead to another look at the

workers must possess the most basic of skills; otherwise, they
would not be acceptable. If almost none of the barely acceptable
workers have the element, the SME would give a 0. If some
barely acceptable workers have the element, it would receive a
✓, and if all have it, it would receive a +.
(2) Superior (S). Describes how useful a given element is for
distinguishing the superior worker from the average worker (0 is
not useful,
✓ is valuable, and + is very important).
(3) Trouble Likely If Not Considered (T). Describe whether
trouble is likely if the element is not included in an examination
or assessment for new hires (0 is safe to ignore, ✓ is some
trouble, and + is much trouble). For Example, all employees can
breathe but if they can’t use tool, it is trouble.
5. Step 4. Derive scale values from the expert ratings. The job
analyst then takes SME responses and prepare them for the second
session. The SME responses (0, ✓, and +) to the four scales (B, S, T,
and P) are analyzed and combined in various ways (some rather
complex) to make them more useful for human resources applications.
e. Step 5. Assigning Elements to Categories. Elements or sub
elements are determined by their profiles of scores as under:
