Testing clerical applicants

Abstract

The Pennsylvania Company, a commercial bank and trust company, has found 3 tests useful in selecting clerical workers: Otis, S-A, Form B, 20-minute; Minnesota Clerical, Number Checking; and Minnesota Clerical, Name Checking. Distributions of scores and percentile norms are presented for men and women separately for each of these tests; the N's vary from 736 to 1472. Critical scores have been set at 36 for the Otis and 130 for the Name Checking and Number Checking. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved)
