Acuity differences between the two eyes and job performance

Abstract

Ortho-Rater scores were obtained on 5600 employees in 92 different industrial jobs. Using various measures of job performance as criteria, about 5100 were identified as either high or low criterion group employees. Results showed that beyond a moderate minimum of acuity in one eye or the other, probability of satisfactory performance increases quite constantly with greater degrees of acuity in the better eye. In the over-all relationship between acuity differences in the two eyes and job performance, such differences are not significantly related to job performance.
