performance-based measures

Performance-based measures are assessments that evaluate an individual's skills or abilities through real tasks or activities, rather than just written tests or questionnaires. For example, instead of asking someone about their cooking skills, you might observe them preparing a meal. These measures provide a more accurate picture of how well someone can perform specific activities in real-world situations. They are commonly used in workplaces, education, and healthcare to determine competency, progress, or suitability for a role, offering a practical view of a person’s capabilities based on actual performance rather than self-reported or theoretical knowledge.
