Assume that you were just rejected for a job based on one of these methods. Obviously, you might be disappointed and angry regardless of what method was used to make this decision, but can you think of two or three methods that might leave you most distressed? In general, why might the acceptability of the test to applicants be an important standard to add to the five we discussed in this chapter?

Imagineyou wanted to hire someone for a job that demanded a high level ofextroversion, and thus, you needed to construct a test that could differentiatea group of job applicants who were total strangers to you. You decide to ask anapplicant if he or she agrees with the question, “I would enjoy chatting with afriend at a noisy bar.” If you were to show this question to an expert in testvalidation, 10 years ago, this person would immediately recognize this as adouble barreled item and tell you to break this one item into two items, oneabout chatting with a friend and one about being in a noisy bar.

Why would an employee pass or reveal at work? What are the positive and negative consequences of doing so?
Some research studies (Ilies & Judge, 2003; Saari & Judge, 2004) report that genetics play a very important part in whether an employee has a high level of job satisfaction. Their work suggests that the attitudes, personality, and values that a person brings to the workplace are better predictors of whether the employee will be satisfied than any of the external factors a company or manager might provide the employee. In fact, their studies indicate that a person with high satisfaction will generally report being highly satisfied, no matter the situation within the company. Similarly, a person who reports low satisfaction will consistently report low satisfaction, no matter what the company may do to increase the employee's satisfaction. If these studies are correct, then there would seem to be some rationality in only hiring applicants with positive personalities. In this assignment, you will develop a ten item survey that will be given to all applicants at your company. The…
