The City of Lakewood has a test that it uses to screen potential applicants for the position of Fireman. It consists of 50 yard dash, scaling a ladder (for time), carry a heavy pack for a 100 yards, and all of this in a firefighting equipment....There is also a test using the fire axe to break thorough a door (also timed). The total score is used to screen applicants (100 point scale). The cut off score is 70. Many women applicants complain that the gloves and boots are too big and hurts their times...in fact none have passed the test. The City maintains the test is representative of the job of firefighter. It also, use an IQ test that it bought from a local vender. Analyze and discuss and decide the case. What type of validity are they using? Explain it. Is this the appropriate type or should they use another? Is reliability an issue here? Why or why not. Explain and defend you answer. Any suggestions for improving the test and/or validation procedure?
