An accurate assessment requires accurate information. There are several sources of information that should be used: official records, supervisee interview, self-report questionnaire, and collateral sources. Remember the following tips: Ask the right questions in the right way – follow the questionnaire. Use effective interviewing techniques – probe and allow the supervisee to talk. Get the quality and depth of information needed – take your time and do not rush. Get collaboration from collateral sources – when in doubt, double check information. Score accurately – double check scoring, follow scoring guide, and consult with supervisor if in doubt about an item.
