This paper describes the development of the problem-solving assessment tool including its theoretical basis and the method of its administration. It also presents the results of a study undertaken to validate the tool. The results of the analysis indicate that several bands of performance can be recognised and suggest that the performance bands may provide a basis for profiling individuals' employability skills. These profiles may be matched to the needs of industry and to the requirements of occupation types. Implications for the assessment of other employability skills using similar tools and methods are outlined.
