The Science and Politics of Race-Norming.
Gottfredson, Linda S.
American Psychologist, v49 n11 p955-63 Nov 1994
Focuses on score adjustment by racial or ethnic group (race norming) in employment testing, and provides a history of the original controversy. The author analyzes race-based adjustments in test scores and discusses how personnel-selection science is being compromised in an effort to reconcile contradictory legal demands. (GLR)
