RE: RE: Evaluating Candidates Using Tests, Logic Questions, and Simil ar

["Gene Kim-Eng" <techwr -at- genek -dot- com>]

Almost every organization that runs these sorts
of psychobabble tests on their current members 
discovers that there is little or no correlation 
between peoples' test results and what roles they 
play in the organization.  In other words, there 
is little or no demonstrable link between scoring 
"well" on any test and actually succeeding at any 
given job.

In addition to being the unproductive use of time,
effort and money that you cite, in the absence of 
any real evidence of test/qualification correlation, 
these tests may expose an employer to potential 
discrimination claims by candidates who maintain 
that the tests produce results that are biased 
against members of various protected groups.
