1. Imagine and describe a staffing system for a job in which there was no measurement used.

2. Describe how you might go about determining scores for applicants’ responses to: a. interview questions, b. letters of recommendation, and c. question about previous work experience.

3. Give examples of when you would want the following for a written job knowledge test: 1. a low coefficient alpha (e.g., alpha = .35), and b. a low test-retest reliability.

4. Assume you gave a general ability test, measuring both verbal and computational skills, to a group of applicants for a specific job. Also assume that because of severe hiring pressures, you hired all of the applicants, regardless of their test scores. How would you investigate the criterion-related validity of the test?
