Problem:
The company you work for is considering changing its applicant testing process. Your supervisor has asked you to address the following in a document that will be sent to other managers within the organization.
Write a short essay discussing some of the legal and ethical considerations of major types of tests: cognitive abilities, motor and physical abilities, personality & interests, and achievement tests. Given these considerations, which testing system do you believe may be the most legitimate? Remember to compare and contrast testing methods specifically to demonstrate how the methodologies you have not selected may have more negative ethical and legal consequences than the one you have selected.
In your answer also discuss ways in which advancements in technology have helped to make the applicant testing and selection process more efficient and effective.
I will look for you to compare and contrast a variety of tests (at least 3) considering the legal and ethical implications of each. I want to see each test considered from a legal and ethical standpoint. The textbook has great discussion on a variety of tests and you will compare/contrast those as you consider the legal and ethical impact presented by each (consider employment law, adverse impact, etc). Be sure to use that compare/contrast process to develop your actual recommendation for the most effective testing process (what tests would you select for your organization and why is that better than the ones you did not select). That recommendation must be included. Don't forget about the 2nd part of the question-the impact of technology.
