Answer to Question 1

Answer: For the small business, one or two hiring mistakes could wreak havoc. Some tests are so easy to use they are particularly good for smaller firms. One is the Wonderlic Personnel Test, which measures general mental ability. With questions somewhat similar to the SAT, it takes less than 15 minutes to administer the 4-page booklet. Comparing the person's score with the minimum scores recommended for various occupations shows whether the person achieved the minimally acceptable score for the type of job in question. The Predictive Index measures work-related personality traits, drives, and behaviorsin particular dominance, extroversion, patience, and blame avoidanceon a two-sided sheet. A template makes scoring simple. The Predictive Index program includes 15 standard benchmark personality patterns. Both tests are available in online versions. Online arrangements like these have many benefits, beyond just saving the time the owners' employees might have to spend testing employees. For example, because it's available 24/7, prospective candidates can log in and apply anytime, wherever they are. That means a larger potential pool of applicants, and hopefully more likelihood of getting an outstanding employee. There are low-tech and costless things a small business can do to improve its selection process, such as work sampling tests.
