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 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 hallo effect If a person has one noticeable good trait, their other characteristics will be judged as better than they really are Thus, an individual who dresses smartly and show self-confidence is likely to be judged capable of doing the 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 this most successfully is cognitive ability as measured by a variety of verbal and spatial tests
Question 36: This passage mainly discusses the _
A effects of interviewing on job applicants B. judgments of interviewers concerning job applicants
C. inadequacy of interviewing job applicants D technique that interviewers use for judging job applicants
Question 37: The word “hindrance” in paragraph is closest in meaning to _
A encouragement B assistance C procedure D interference

A characteristics B judgments C applicants D interviewers
(4)Page 4/4- Mã đề 412 A. stands out as the worst judgmental error
B. takes effect only when a candidate is well dressed
C exemplifies how one good characteristic colors perceptions
D helps the interviewer to judge real ability
Question 40: The word "confirm" in paragraph is closest in meaning to _
A conclude B verify C recollect D misrepresent
Question 41: According to the passage, the first impression _
A is the one that stays with the interviewer B can easily be altered
C is unrelated to the interviewer’s prejudices D has been repeatedly demonstrated to the applicant
Question 42: The author mentions all of the following reasons why interviewing is not an accurate way to predict
candidate suitability EXCEPT the
A halo effect B primacy effect C contrast effect D cognitive effect
Question 43: We can infer that the paragraph following the passage most likely discusses which of the following?
A Other reasons for misjudgments of applicants
B More information on the kinds of judgmental effects
