Abstract

Presents a method of nondiscriminatory employment test validation when there are no minority personnel in jobs being considered. A test battery is validated with the Caucasian employees and then administered to an applicant pool containing a high proportion of minority group members. If differences between racial groups emerge, discriminatory items are ascertained by item analysis and deleted. If no differences appear (as in the case reported), the battery is standardized with on-the-job minority personnel. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2006 APA, all rights reserved).
