Measurement and
Improvement
Your E-CAP scoresheet gives a summary of your
performance in more than 275 discrete
communication competencies, from strategy to
delivery to articulation. The analytical approach
of our metrics helps you to understand why your
communication is strong or weak. Other
communication assessments typically give a single
or a few skill scores, leaving test-takers to
wonder about the precise factors that produced
their score.
A unique feature of E-CAP is its extensive
analysis and explanation of your performance. Your
advisory report will contain customized self-study
exercises for you to begin the process of
improvement. If you wish, we can also provide
additional training to improve the competencies
identified in your report.
Uses
E-CAP is valuable for a
spectrum of assessment and development purposes.
Universities use it as a convenient tool for
helping students to improve their communication
skills. Companies rely on E-CAP to address the
competencies of their staff, especially
colleagues who are on track for promotion but
whose communication abilities are holding them
back. Private individuals use E-CAP to learn
about the effectiveness of their spoken language
and to find ways to increase their communication
power in work and social environments.
Question Format
E-CAP relies on an extensive
library of test questions and variable response
formats. Each test presents a selection of
questions requiring a variety of communication
tasks, from simple descriptions to scenarios
needing complex responses. Some test questions
request an immediate response, as in
conversational interaction, while other items
allow the individual to prepare their response
for up to 60 seconds before speaking. The time
allotted for the recording of spoken answers
ranges from 30-90 seconds. The responses
are recorded on-line and are stored securely on
our server.
Analysis of Responses
Your responses are analyzed in
a propriety hybrid rating system that uses
speech analysis technology, trained human
evaluation, and statistical formulas to give a
precise result. Measurements are performed in
two hundred seventy-five separate areas for
indicators of communication competency.

It's simple.
1. Speak.
Research has
shown that spoken language
provides the best indication of
real-life communication abilities.
It reveals cognition, vocabulary
range, strategy, and context
awareness.
2.
Discover. Most
people communicate with
subconscious habits that develop
over years of interaction. E-CAP
helps you to become aware of the
strengths and weaknesses in your
communication, including skills
you never knew you had!
3. Improve.
Your score and
accompanying advisory report
detail the characteristics of your
spoken language, and the report
shows you how to modify and
improve your communication
behaviors. Some of the suggestions
will be obvious and easy to
internalize. Other skills,
especially in the areas of
cognition and speech clarity, may
need concentrated practice.
