Abstract:

A five-test selection battery was given to select Air Traffic Controllers. Data were collected on two new tests being considered for incorporation into the battery. To determine the utility of the old and new tests, it is necessary to correlate the tests with a criterion of job success. However, since criterion information is available only on persons already selected for air traffic control work, the correlation is restricted to this upper range of persons, and is, thereby, spuriously low for prediction purposes. To properly evaluate the utility of the tests, the correlation must be corrected for this restriction in range. This paper describes a new procedure to more accurately correct correlations for restriction in range. By Monte Carlo methods the new procedure is compared with Gulliksen and Thorndike's procedures and is shown to be more accurate.
