An interview is a method for gathering data or information about an individual. The info is then used to describe the individual, make future predictions or both. Interviews can be evaluated in terms of standard psychometric qualities such as reliability and validity. Some interviews are individually administered (one to one) Some are family interviews (more than one individual) Just as the person who gives a test must take responsibility for the test administration process, so the interviewer must assume responsibility for the conduct of the interview. Many tests such as thematic apperception test cannot be used without adequate interview data and the interview is sometimes the most important source of data. Interview remains one of the most prevalent selection devices for employment.
