The effects of response instructions on situational judgment test performance and validity in a high-stakes context.

29 Jun 2009 This study fills a key gap in research on response instructions in situational judgment tests (SJTs). The authors examined whether the assumptions behind the differential effects of knowledge and behavioral tendency SJT response instructions hold in ... Read more...

Positive manifold limits the relevance of content-matching strategies for validating selection test batteries.

29 Jun 2009 Inferences about the relationships between scores on selection tests and measures of job performance are often made on the basis of an assessment of the match between the content of the test and the content of the job. However, there is little ... Read more...

[Predicting the success of occupational retraining using the occupational aptitude test battery]

15 Apr 2009 In vocational retraining centres, a test battery including several performance tests is generally administered to assess the occupational aptitude of rehabilitants and to predict their success in occupational retraining. This paper presents the ... Read more...
