The Validity and Fairness of Employment and Educational Tests for Hispanic Americans: A Review and Analysis.

Schmidt, Frank L.; And Others

Personnel Psychology, v33 n4 p705-24 Win 1980

Similar results were obtained on educational tests. Tests are neither differentially valid for, nor unfair to, Hispanics. (Author)
