[IPAC-List] Interview Question Construction

[GAST, ILENE F]

Josh,

Another useful source would be the U.S. Office of Personnel Management's
Interview guide.  It has tips on question construction and a nice list
of references.  Here's the link:

https://apps.opm.gov/ADT/ContentFiles/SIGuide09.08.08.pdf

And if that doesn't work, Google "OPM Interview Guide."

Subject: [IPAC-List] Interview Question Construction

Hi All,

Can anyone point me to good research on interview question  
construction. I'm putting together an item bank of interview and  
reference questions but having trouble locating good research  
material discussing the recommended parameters for; question length,  
# of questions/interview, anchor construction... I'll be utilizing  
both situational and behavioral questions so I'm less interested in  
the whole SI vs. PBI debate and I'll be using SME's for incident  
identification. I'm really focused on the basics of question  
construction. I'm sure these kinds of issues must be addressed  
somewhere but after spending an 1.5 hours on Google Scholar I could  
only find tangentially related articles, nothing exactly on point.  
Any assistance would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Josh Cowan
