Abstract

The article focuses on a research report from Lodz University of Technology that defends the use of cognitive ability testing in employee selection and academic admissions. The researchers critique arguments against cognitive ability tests, emphasizing that these tests can be valid and fair if job-related and unbiased. They address concerns about the objectivity of alternative selection methods and caution against generalizing findings from employment to educational contexts. The study advocates for a balanced approach that combines cognitive ability tests with valid non-cognitive predictors, ensuring cultural relevance and proper communication of testing processes.
