WHAT DOES BIODATA MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Biodata

In industrial and organizational psychology, biodata is biographical data. Biodata is “...factual kinds of questions about life and work experiences, as well as to items involving opinions, values, beliefs, and attitudes that reflect a historical perspective.” Since the respondent replies to questions about themselves, there are elements of both biography and autobiography. The basis of biodata’s predictive abilities is the axiom that past behaviour is the best predictor of future behaviour. Biographical information is not expected to predict all future behaviours but it is useful in personnel selection in that it can give an indication of probable future behaviours based on an individual’s prior learning history. Biodata instruments (also called Biographical Information Blanks have an advantage over personality and interest inventories in that they can capture directly the past behaviour of a person, probably the best predictor of his or her future actions. These measures deal with facts about the person’s life, not introspections and subjective judgements. Over the years, personnel selection has relied on standardized psychological tests.
