“…There are two themes in the commentaries concerning adverse impact. One relates to the measurement of adverse impact (e.g., Barrett et al, 2011; Jacobs et al, 2011; Mead & Morris, 2011) and the other, perhaps more importantly, concerns the disparate impact theory of discrimination as a more central problem for personnel selection than the Uniform Guidelines (e.g., Barrett et al, 2011; Dunleavy, Aamodt, Morgan, Gutman, & Cohen, 2011; Jacobs et al, 2011; Sharf, 2011). Each theme will be addressed in turn.…”
