Today was busy, with our learner control symposium taking up most of the afternoon (hard to tweet while talking!).

| 5:36 AM | At 5AM, it’s much harder to see why registering for the #siop12 5K was a good idea…. Blegh |
| 7:49 AM | Did not beat Paul Sackett’s time (my goal) but still a respectable 31 mins for the #siop12 5K. Not bad for my 1st 5K! |
| 8:38 AM | NeoAcademic: SIOP 2012: Day 2 Live-Blog (http://t.co/oP3fAbly) #siop12 |

| 11:40 AM | Tech moves forward as research moves forward to understand it; never ending cycle #siop12 |
| 11:46 AM | Org context/purpose is inflexible while specific user experience is flexible; so when implementing new tech, consider context first #siop12 |
| 12:08 PM | No practical diffs between mobile and non mobile assessment – unless candidates took it on Nintendo Wii #siop12 (weird) |
| 12:11 PM | Less than 1% of applicants used mobile devices to complete assessment in sample of 1 million #siop12 |
| 12:17 PM | Older adults more likely to take assessments on mobile devices; younguns prefer computers #siop12 |
| 12:20 PM | Personality tests don’t have diff scores, but cog ability scores do – mobile scores lower d=-.5 (non experimental study) #siop12 |
| 12:54 PM | Zickar on cyber vetting and looking up job applicants on Facebook: just don’t do it. #siop12 |

Congrats on the 5k! The points from 12:11 (concerning mobile assessment attrition rate) and 12:17 (concerning age group preferences for mobile training) are surprising to me.
I thought so too – there aren’t many mobile test-takers yet, but projections have it up to 25% of selection assessees by 2015. The age differences were surprising initially, but I think it has to do with availability – older adults are simply more likely to have a smartphone (more expensive, more likely to have one further into a career). That might change as current teenagers get to the workforce and smartphone plans become more ubiquitous.
