this is a fairly common policy. anti discrimination laws basically say that any generic test of intelligence must 1) be cognitively meaningful and 2) not be biased along racial/gender group differences. since just about any cognitively meaningful test will yield racial/gender empirical outcomes given our background society/culture, a lot of companies and HR folk have decided the combination of those two rules, when combined with the lack of any means of proving that your test is valid, and not racist or sexist, means they don't want to go anywhere near this issue. so blanket bans on tests like that are fairly common. -Chris --- Asst Coach, Lexington Debate: http://www.lexdebate.org Tournament Tab Software: http://www.tabroom.com _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] https://lists.lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/discuss This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
