A selection set preference index

Abstract

"1. A selection set preference index was developed for the adjectives of the Ghiselli Self-Description Inventory. This index was used to compute a PI discrepancy for each pair of the inventory. 2. The PI discrepancy was shown to be reliable and significantly related to responses made under several conditions in a previous study. 3. It was concluded that the selection set PI contained both general desirability and selection situation desirability components; control of both appears necessary for use in selection."
