The selection of drafting trainees

Abstract

Correlations of 8 tests with a ranking criterion for 20 employed draftsmen yielded a 6-test battery (AGCT, Kuder Artistic and Mechanical, DAT Space Relations, WPCT Numerical and Verbal), which was given to 36 applicants for drafting training. Follow-up was made at the completion of training (26 survived), and after hiring (11 were hired). With arbitrary cutting scres on all tests of—1 S.D., 83.3% of the ultimately unsuccessful applicants would have been rejected and 36.4% of those who were eventually hired.
