This study investigates two divergent strategies for assessment center ratings, dimension-based assessment centers (DBAC) and task-based assessment centers (TBAC), in order to directly compare their model fit using the same data. The sample consisted of 126 Romanian students who took part in an Assessment and Development Center. The assessment center matrix included two exercises, analysis and in-tray, and two traditional dimensions, problem solving and organizing and planning, as well as one task-based dimension. Findings confirmed that the TBAC model performs significantly better than the DBAC model. Implications regarding the construct validity of TBAC ratings and internal reliability of DBAC ratings are discussed.
