Purpose:
Several short test used in appropriate combination will nearly always provide a better prediction
of performance in a given job than a single, longer test of general ability. Also, a testing program
that uses separate measures of specific job elements can be modified easily to reflect changes in
job requirements. Such flexibility is becoming essential because jobs are changing rapidly.
Application:
The FIT tests are essentially self-administering. Directions and sample exercises are ordinarily
given on the back page. Examinees should all be provided with medium (No. 2) black led pencils
with eraser.
It is of prime importance that the examiner allows the participants to work precisely the time
indicated on each test. This means that no test booklet should be opened until instruction is given
to do so and that everyone stops work and closes the test booklet when told to stop.
Assembly Skill related to visualizing the results of structural and mechanical changes.
Coordination Ability to coordinate hand and arm movements smoothly and accurately.
Ability to understand electrical and electronic principles and to analyze
Electronics
diagrams of electrical circuits.
Expression Ability to convey ideas in writing and talking.
Psychometric Properties:
A. Validity
In most instances a combination of test scores yields a better predictive validity than a
single score. Instead of reporting the validities for the specific sample that could be
obtained by applying the precise weights to maximize the relationship, validities are
reported for combinations of equally weighted variables.
B. Reliability
The FIT and Fact correlated highly, the tests may be regarded as essentially equivalent.
C. Norms
Each company needs to determine its own standards for personnel selection. It is
frequently helpful in evaluating test result, however, to be able to compare an applicant’s
performance with that of a specially defined group.
