Suppose that a newly formed private security agency contracts with you to develop a pre-employment assessment protocol for screening applicants for the position of security guard. Using the suggested resources and other scholarly sources such as the Mental Measurements Yearbook Database, write a paper describing the assessment process and test battery you would recommend for use by this agency.

Include the following in your analysis:

• Explain the role of employee selection tests in the process of hiring for a position such as the security guard job in this scenario.

• Provide a rationale for using or not using personality tests as part of your employee selection battery.

• Describe what other standardized or nonstandardized assessment methods would you use.

• Define the psychometric properties (reliability, validity, and norms) of the assessment methods you have selected.

• Describe the types of validity evidence you would collect for your employee selection methods.

• Explain the relevant APA ethical principles that must be considered when developing your employee selection battery.

• Formulate a plan-including specific steps you would take-to adhere to the APA ethical principles.
