Document Summary
Statistically: weights predictors based on statistics, statistical combination that is the best predictor of performance, the create an equation with the predictors (need to cross validate) Clinically: experts decide how to weight different predictors, not as affective. Hurdles: at any point in the selection process, individuals are knocked out of assessment process. Don"t want too much overlap (correlation) between predictors: there should be value in using both. Are factors compensatory: can being good in one domain compensate for poor performance on another? (cid:1) The us equal employment opportunity commission (eeoc) for. Fiscal year 2014 received 89,000 new charges of employment discrimination. A 5. 3% decrease over the charges filed in 2013: recent example: Many of those workers were over 40. Lawyers looked at correlations to see how likely if age was not a factor. Employer treated plaintiff differently from majority group: unintentional discrimination. Employer didn"t mean to treat plaintiff differently than majority group, but different rates of hiring happened anyways.
