Abstract
The most valuable interview is reported to be a standardized one, designed to assess complex, dynamic constellations of traits rather than relatively isolated, static traits. A standardized preemployment interview yielding six "attitude" scores was given to 46 workers, and validated against supervisory ratings. "It is concluded that, properly used, the interview can play a reliable part in the overall assessment of an individual''s qualities.".This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
