The selection of department store packers and wrappers with the aid of certain psychological tests

Abstract

Scores on the Minnesota placing and turning tests were found to be correlated .35 and .27 respectively, with the job ratings of seasonal packers and wrappers in a department store. Scores on the O'Connor finger dexterity test bore no relationship to job success. The permanent workers earned much higher scores on the tests than did the seasonal workers, and the indication was that the difference was due to experience.
