“…Schmidt et al went on to critique the influence of logical positivism on personnel psychology for causing the field to accept the tenet of situation specificity for so long. They argued that applications of cognitive psychology would better enable an understanding of the groupings of test validities around task-heterogeneous jobs that are similar in problem solving and information processing requirements (Ghiselli, 1966; Maier & Fuchs, 1969, 1972). The study reported here indicates that one direction for future research may lie in an alternate application of cognitive psychology.…”

Past research has shown that assessment centers have accurately predicted managerial success in a number of organizations. The argument is made that understanding assessor judgments is necessary before it can be determined why assessment centers consistently demonstrate predictive validity. Data on the individual ratings made by 46 assessors working in an assessment center were analyzed. Ten assessors' ratings (each of whom had rated more the 200 assessees) were individually subjected to confirmatory factor analyses (using LISREL) and examined within a lens model framework. Support was found for both a formal and informal method of arriving at an overall assessment rating (OAR). Subgroup analyses indicate tentatively that there is little effect of assessee sex on the way assessors arrive at an OAR. Practical and theoretical implications are discussed.

“…As selection ratios become more favorable, mean performance gains resulting from classification become significantly higher: the mean standard criterion score increases from 0.17 to 0.96 when the selection ratio is 0.05. 0 Maier and Fuchs (1972) empirically demonstrated the pronounced advantage in using the Army's aptitude area composite system in assigning enlistees to specific jobs rather than using a single global general mental ability composite, the Armed Forces 0 Qualification Test (AFQT). Anastasi (1988) notes that AFQT scores showed 56% of a sample of 7,500 applicants reached or exceeded the 50th percentile on AFQT, while 80% reached or exceeded the average standard score on their best aptitude area score.…”

“…Estimates of cost-effectiveness obtained through selection and classification is not a new concern (Maier and Fuchs, 1972;Sands, 1973aSands, , 1973band Sorenson, 1965). The application of Brogden's utility model of 1949 in the military is a more recent phenomenon (Eaton, Wing, and Mitchell, 1985;Schmidt, Hunter, and Dunn, 1987).…”

“…The Army has a history of MOS clustering based on aptitude requirements and other attributes. An early example is Maier and Fuchs' (1972) examination of MOS clusters using subtests from the Army Classification Battery. More recently, Konieczny, Brown, Hutton, and Stewart (1990) reported on the development of the Enlisted Personnel Allocation System (EPAS) for classifying recruits.…”
