Answer to Question 1

Answer: Research indicates that customized tests can be a reliable and accurate means to predict on-the-job performance. Organizations use tests to identify attitudes and job-related skills that interviews cannot recognize. Also, the cost of employment testing is small in comparison to ultimate hiring costs. They are a more efficient way to get at that type of information and may result in better-qualified people being hired. Selection tests do not assess a person's motivation, which is important for a successful hire. Selection tests may also be unintentionally discriminatory. Properly designed selection tests are standardized, objective, based on sound norms, reliable, and, of utmost importance, valid.

Answer to Question 2

C
