Testing and the Paradoxes of Fairness

Beschreibung

Tests are better than other metrics like high school GPA or letters of recommendation at predicting individual performance, but they can also exhibit racial, class, and sex disparities. This practical book charts how to maximize efficiency in personnel selection while minimizing adverse impact and maintaining fairness.
