“…These tests generally capture the "Big Five" personality constructs: extroversion, emotional stability (vs. neuroticism), agreeableness, conscientiousness, and openness to experience (Sanders, 2003). Although there has been some success in linking various subscales of tests to specific negative outcomes such as termination and turnover (Weiss, Zehner, Davis, Rostow, & DeCoster-Martin, 2005), several researchers have concluded that such tests hold little predictive value, particularly with regard to identifying good performers (Ash, Slora, & Britton, 1990;Aylward, 1985;Dwyer, Prien, & Bernard, 1990). Alternatively, recent research by Sarchione, Cuttler, Muchinsky, and Nelson-Gray (1998) and a meta-analysis by Ones, Viswesvaran, Cullen, Drees, and Langkamp (2003) indicate that selected psychological constructs-such as agreeableness and impulse control-may be useful in predicting a broad range of police behavior.…”
