Abstract
It is a firmly entrenched part of management lore that interviewers make decisions in the selection interview after only a few minutes. A reanalysis of the original research (Springbett, 1954; 1958) and cur-rent research findings suggest the need for a more cautious interpre-tation of the phenomenon of a "snap decision" in the interview.Keywords
