The Development and Validation of the TALENTx7 Assessment
(Third Edition)

A series of statistical analyses were performed to examine the psychometric integrity of the TALENTx7 Assessment. The findings demonstrate that this self-assessment measures the seven facets of learning agility validly and reliably. The 7-factor structure of the instrument was confirmed; factor scales were internally consistent. The coefficient alpha – the statistic used to compute internal consistency – for the Overall Learning Agility scale was particularly high (r = 0.92). An investigation of subgroup differences found no evidence of adverse impact for gender, race, or age. In a separate analysis, the scores for a group of respondents who also had taken the viaEDGE™ learning agility self-assessment were compared to the ones obtained by the TALENTx7 Assessment. Overall learning agility scores for the two assessments were highly related (r = 0.78, p < .001). In total, the analyses presented in the technical report indicated the TALENTx7 is a valid, reliable measure of learning agility.
