Issues of Legality and Validity

Are pre-employment tests legal?

Yes, provided they are job related, consistent with business necessity, and valid.

Job related/Consistent with business necessity

  • The assessment must bear a demonstrable relationship to job performance
    • Griggs vs. Duke Power
  • Personality tests as medical exams under the ADA

Validity

  • Content - Skills testing
  • Construct - Measurements on different tests correlate
  • Criterion - Correlates assessment results with job performance
  • Achiever validity
    • Construct
    • Criterion
    • Concurrent/benchmarking

Achiever Legality/Validity

Job related

  1. Achiever aptitudes and dimensions are fundamentally job related
  2. Benchmarking eliminates measurements that don’t correlate with performance

Consistent with business necessity

  1. Not a medical exam
  2. Benchmarking eliminates measurements that don’t correlate with performance

Valid

  1. Achiever developed with Construct validity
  2. Achiever developed with Criterion validity
  3. Achiever uses Concurrent validation/benchmarking to enhance job relativity

Limited scope in employment decision

The Achiever results should count no more than 1/3 of the overall hiring decision

EEOC/OFCCP/Court opinions

  • Adverse impact claims unlikely, particularly since assessment is not the sole determining factor
  • Provides an objective view to balance subjective analysis
  • No judgments against employers using Achiever in 40 years

Suggested changes to the Achiever report that have been integrated along with some tips:

Front Page: Centered and shifted the contact info down a little. Dropped fields such as email, phone, position, company, etc. when they are empty.

Report: Working on obtaining a more uniform look throughout the report. Some slight tweaks are still in progress.

Test Taker Entering Contact Info: Have increased the field size for Email and Company.

Color on the scoresheet: This may be printed in Internet Explorer by going to Tools>Internet Options>Advanced and placing a checkmark next to "Print background colors and images"

You may obtain a free PDF writer by going to www.cutepdf.com and clicking on CutePDF Writer (freeware). A PDF is the ideal way to send a report via email.

Internet Explorer: Suggested margins are 0.3 to 0.5 for top, left, right, and bottom. We recommend that you turn off headers and footers. These options are available under File>Page Setup
