Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mandy is participating in an assessment center, which is a type of personnel selection that involves a series of exercises and evaluations designed to simulate job tasks and assess a candidate's skills, abilities, and potential for success in the job. The fact that she is being rated by multiple evaluators in each exercise is a key characteristic of an assessment center. The other options (structured interview, personality test, and intelligence test) do not fit the description of the selection process Mandy is undergoing.
