Selection of subprofessional hospital care personnel

Abstract

9 ability tests were administered to 150 nursing assistants in the United States Public Health Service. 18 12-point performance scales served as the criterion measure. Ratings were by 5 professional nurses. "The validity of the predictors appears to be primarily due to a general ability rather than abilities specific to individual tests."
