Exam 8: Measurement

A task knowledge test in which a candidate is expected to score at least 75 out of 100 to advance to the next stage in the selection process is an example of a criterion-referenced measure.

Construct validity reflects the perceived job relatedness of a measure.

The following equation is the result of performing a multiple regression analysis: Job performance = 10 + (5*job knowledge)+ (0.7* conscientiousness),where job knowledge is measured on a scale of 0-5 and conscientiousness is measured on a scale of 0 to 100.Which of the following conclusions is correct?
