The authorsdescribe these procedures as they apply to a variety of narrow andbroad ability and personality attributes relevant to jobeffectiveness.“
--George Thornton, professor, Department of Psychology, Colorado State University
„This work offers a comprehensive survey of current thought onalternative methods of validation. It provides insight into therelative strengths of various methods and gives hope to those of uswho argue that criterion-related methods should not be preferredover other methods simply because they appear to be morescientific. Throughout, the authors remind us that whatever themethodology, the goal remains the same: selection procedures thathelp employers identify the best employees for the job and thattheir attorneys can defend against legal challenge. Every attorneypracticing in this area should add this work to the referenceshelf.“
--Patrick J. Rocks, general counsel, Chicago PublicSchools
