a test would be an objectionable (28) _ into then private lives

Read the following passage and mark the letter A., B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.

Experiments have shown that in selecting personnel for a job, interviewing is at best a

hindrance, and may even cause harm These studies have disclosed that the judgments of

interviewers differ markedly and bear little or no relationship to the adequacy of the job applicants Of the many reasons why this should be the case, three in particular stand out The first reason is related to an error of judgment known as the halo effect If a person has one

noticeable good trait, then other characteristics will be judged as better than they really are Thus,

an individual who dresses smartly and shows self-confidence is likely to be judged capable of doing a job well regardless of his or her real ability

Interviewers are also prejudiced by an effect called the primacy effect This error occurs when interpretation of later information is distorted by earlier connected information Hence, in

an interview situation, the interviewer spends most of the interview trying to confirm the

impression given by the candidate in the first few moments Studies have repeatedly demonstrated that such an impression is unrelated to the aptitude of the applicant

The phenomenon known as the contrast effect also skews the judgment of interviewers A

suitable candidate may be underestimated because he or she contrasts with a previous one who

appears exceptionally intelligent Likewise, an average candidate who is preceded by one who gives a weak showing may be judged as more suitable than he or she really is

Since interviews as a form of personnel selection have been shown to be inadequate, other selection procedures have been devised which more accurately predict candidate suitability Of

the various tests devised, the predictor which appears to do this most successfully is cognitive

ability as measured by a variety of verbal and spatial tests
