Abstract

Practitioners struggle to convey statistical information concerning employee selection procedures to managers. Joint vs. separate evaluation has been used to study preference reversals in the field of medical decision making, as well as other domains. A similar design was used to test the preference for the popular interview and the less popular, yet more predictive test of general mental ability. Although a complete preference reversal was not found, people did in fact prefer the test of GMA to the interview when information about the two hiring procedures were presented together rather than when presented separately.
