Integrating Non-Ability and Cognitive Assessments: Selection and Classification

Abstract

The primary objective of this research was to integrate new tactics of whole-person assessment developed from basic research, along with findings from applied research, for occupational selection and classification. A secondary objective was to provide assessment of the independent and interactive contributions of cognitive (aptitude), affective, and conative trait measures. Two empirical studies provided initial evidence for the validity and reliability of context-specific trait measures and their incremental predictive validity, beyond that of cognitive abilities, for training outcomes.
