Abstract
This article, the second of two, presents predic tive validity data for on-job performance for a set of computerized Graphic and Interactive Processing (GRIP) tests in conjunction with data for both ex perimental paper-and-pencil and operational tests. Validity coefficients for job element and global cri teria are reported for four different jobs. Experi mental variables substantially enhanced the predic tive accuracy of the operational battery for Sonar Technicians. Most experimental tests with signifi cant validities were computer-administered. The GRIP tests were more useful than paper-and-pencil tests for identifying personnel skilled in Interpret ing Visual Displays, Adjusting Equipment, and Working Under Distractions. They were useful sup plements to paper-and-pencil tests for identifying skill in four additional job elements.Keywords
