Further evaluation of verbal ability selection test and work performance validity with psychiatric aides.
Verbal selection test and work performance validity based on two samples of psychiatric aides were both .25, with corrected validities of .60 (n = 40) and .46 (n = 60). When combined with three previous samples (N = 273), meta-analysis yielded a mean validity of .25 (cumulative p = .00003) which provided further evidence of the validity of cognitive ability tests in selection of psychiatric aides.
