of this is asking an applicant how they would differentiate a lesson to meet the needs of a student with a learning disability. Answers to this situation would show whether the applicant demonstrates target KSAOs. Cognitive ability is a strong predictor of job performance and is measured well by standardized tests (Cascio and Aguinis, 2011, p. 285). An applicant could take the test at the time of the interview, providing the employer with more useful information. Cognitive Ability Tests can…

Then, as many predictors as possible were selected depending on the magnitude of the absolute value correlation coefficient they have with TWS. Stepwise multiple linear regressions were then used to avoid co linearity and over fitting. In this process, many combinations of predictors (SSTs) are regressed on TWS producing many different regression models. In stepwise regression, the models are assessed by the residual sum of squares. The criteria for including a predictor are an improvement…

was aware that personality traits served as predictors in some cases such as likeability, team work or attractiveness, it never occurred to me that they could also be predicting mortality risk. The idea may sound ludicrous at first but after considering the points of the research and the peer rating, the argument does follow suit. This study brings up two interesting points. Personality traits, (more particularly conscientiousness) seem to be predictors of mortality and peer ratings are valid…

Standardized Testing Is a Flawed Measurement Standardize testing fails at its one and only job.

However, the testing material is fashioned by the financially-driven testing business, that is a multi-billion-dollar industry. No surprisingly, the testing industry charges…

The PICOT question was as follows: In Registered Nurses working in a geriatric psychiatric unit, will attending a staff training session on assault risk for one hour affect knowledge for patient-on-patient…

Evidence suggest that disruptive disorders can impact social and emotional development in preschool with a continuation through adolescence but if properly identified in…

implicit self-esteem had higher narcissism. The significance of this study demonstrations that one aspect of self-esteem is not a clear indicator for narcissism but instead the discrepancies between implicit and explicit self-esteem are the best predictors of NPD. The implications of the findings suggest that patients with NPD demonstrate that improving explicit self-esteem may be a factor in treatment but it is equally important to see the relation to implicit self-esteem as well because they…

are conducted by people without qualifications and it is leading to misinterpretation of tests results. Some of the critics conclude that correlation between personality traits and organization’s activity are too low to treat them as significant predictors…
