Sackett, Paul R.; Schmitt, Neal; Ellingson, Jill E.; Kabin, Melissa B.
American Psychologist, v56 n4 p302-18 Apr 2001
Subgroup differences are expected on traditional knowledge, skill, ability, and achievement tests. Considers actions to reduce differences and fairly assess individual attributes. Suggests that selection materials assess the full range of relevant attributes using a format that minimizes verbal content as much as is appropriate. Recommends using test preparation, face-valid assessments, and consideration of relevant job or life experiences. (SM)
