Fairness in Employment Testing.

Tenopyr, Mary L.

Society, v27 n3 p17-20 Mar-Apr 1990

Discusses problems with the Committee on the General Aptitude Test Battery's report "Fairness in Employment Testing" (1989). Finds that, while the report is thorough, major questions remain in a number of areas, including inconsistent definitions, "false negatives," rationale for criteria, and lack of full disclosure. Endorses some of the report's recommendations. (AF)
