1. A job candidate failed a job application test, but she claims that the test is not fair and that she can do the job. What type of evidence do you need to ensure that the test is in fact a good predictor of job performance?
2. You are running a law firm and require all your lawyers to pass the bar exam. What does the bar exam need to do to indicate it is a good test?
3. You have developed a new system for predicting future company sales. Your boss wants some proof that it works.
4. An NFL team makes a recruit take an intelligence test. The recruit’s score is below the acceptable level, so the team refuses to hire the player. The player complains, stating that his intelligence score has nothing to do with playing football. What evidence do you need to support not hiring the player?
5. You decided to let the job candidate in situation 1 above take the application test again. The next day she took the test again, and the score was within a couple of points of her score on the first test. So you again decide not to hire her. What evidence do you need to support this decision?
