Descrizione Allow Me To Explain...
Through the process of selection the measurement andprediction of behaviour has become an importantactivity in the field of psychology, especially inthe workplace. A dynamic selection process can assistthe organisation in identifying individuals who bestsuit it's needs. Psychometric testing is the mostcommon procedure in the prediction of human behaviourduring selection. Seeing that not all instruments arevalid and reliable, much controversy still exists onthe use of such instruments in South Africa. Only byintroducing instruments that apply to these criteriawill psychometrics have a future in labour practices.The purpose of this study was to assess the constructvalidity of the First View(TM), an instrumentoriginating in the United States, for selectionpurposes in South Africa. By incorporatingpersonality and cognitive ability into oneinstrument, First View(TM), as a psychometricinstrument, can be used in selection to determine jobperformance. The cognitive scale is based onGuilford's Structure of Intellect and the personalscale on the Big Five Personality factors.
