Casper (admissions test)

Casper (Computer-Based Assessment for Sampling Personal Characteristics, earlier CASPer or "CMSENS")[1] is an admissions test developed by Harold Reiter[2] and Kelly Dore.

The test, which is a form of situational judgement test, consists of video- or word-based scenarios, based on real-life situations.

[7] Casper was piloted by Northern Ontario School of Medicine in the 2014 application cycle.

[8] Braden MacBeth criticised Casper on Science-Based Medicine for lack of transparency, flawed studies and a conflict of interest.

MacBeth concludes "CASPer should not be incorporated into the medical school admissions process".
