The relationship between the predictive power of aptitude tests for trainability and for job proficiency

Abstract

This study indicates that only a low relationship exists between the validity of tests in the prediction of trainability and in the prediction of job proficiency. These results suggest that the abilities important for learning a job may differ markedly from those important in the maintenance of proficiency on the job.
