“…They also found that IQ was negatively associated with belief in the importance of soft skills, leading them to suggest that soft skills may be used by less academically gifted students to compensate for their comparative lack of cognitive skills. Several medical schools in America have also commenced using multiple mini-interviews to assess the non-cognitive skills of applicants (Hadad et al , 2016). However, these interviews require trained examiners, and are conducted in person, making them impractical tools for larger surveys (Kulasegaram et al , 2010).…”

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to develop a measure of soft skills suitable for use in a large survey of Australian adolescents.Design/methodology/approachA survey was conducted with N = 4,704 Australians aged 15–19 over 2 years. Principal components analysis was performed on 14 self-report items, followed by generalised linear mixed modelling predicting education- and employment-related outcomes.FindingsSelf-reported problem solving, creativity, teamwork and verbal communication were alternately associated with later high school performance, hourly wage and employment status. These effects persisted when controlling for demographics and prior academic achievement.Originality/valueExisting measures have been limited by their length or focus on specific skills or industries. The presented measures are short, domain-general, measure multiple skills simultaneously, and are suitable for a wide range of research contexts.

“…Important evidence for the validity of the MMIs is provided by demonstrating that MMI scores are related to peer assessment conducted four years later. The scores of two MMIs (MOR and MIRKAM) were moderately correlated with the peer assessment done during clinical studies in medical school 44. Empathy, medical knowledge, teamwork, ability to cope with pressure and communications skills were among the domains identified for peer evaluation.…”

The growing role of healthcare professionals urged admissions committees to restructure their selection process and assess key personal attributes rather than academic achievements only. Multiple mini interviews (MMIs) were designed in 2002 to assess such domains in prospective healthcare professions. Being a high-stake assessment, the utility and limitations of MMI need to be explored. The purpose of this article is to review the available evidence to establish its utility. The claim of the reliability is verified by the studies assessing the effect of number of stations, duration of stations, format and scoring systems of stations and number of raters assessing the applicants. Similarly, by gathering evidence concerning its content validity, convergent/divergent correlation and predictive ability, validity is ensured. Finally, its acceptability and feasibility along with limitations is discussed. This article concludes by providing recommendations for further work required to deal with the limitations and enhance its utility.

“…To improve inter-rater reliability, researchers have recommended that programs focus on training of interviewers to use the MMIs in a standardized manner as well as training of interviewers to reduce the impact of bias in ratings (Axelson & Ferguson, 2012; Eva et al., 2018). Studies on the predictive validity of MMIs have found that MMI scores correlate reasonably well with results of performance-based clinical examinations (Eva et al., 2004a), licensing examinations (Eva et al., 2012; Reiter, Eva, Rosenfeld, & Norman, 2007), evaluations by supervisors during clinical placements (Reiter et al., 2007), and evaluations by peers during clinical placements (Hadad et al., 2016).…”

Rethinking the Admissions Interview: Piloting Multiple Mini-Interviews in a Graduate Psychology Program

Health profession programs routinely utilize traditional interviews in admissions as a means of assessing important non-academic characteristics (e.g., critical thinking, interpersonal skills, judgment) of candidates. However, the reliability and validity of traditional interviews is highly questionable. Given this, multiple health profession programs (e.g., medicine, nursing, pharmacy, physical therapy) have implemented multiple mini-interviews as an alternative for assessing non-academic characteristics. This paper describes the development and implementation of multiple mini-interviews in the admissions process for a doctoral clinical psychology program, one of the health professions yet to use multiple mini-interviews. This paper also examines the feasibility and acceptability of the multiple mini-interviews in this program. Results of a mixed-method survey of all 120 candidates who participated in admissions days are presented along with discussion of factors associated with satisfaction and dissatisfaction. Recommendations for program refinement and application to other graduate psychology programs for improved admissions processes are discussed.

Abstract: The study provides important evidence for the validity of the MMI. Additional studies are required to reevaluate the predicted validity of the MMI.
