title: Further evaluation of verbal ability selection test and work performance validity with psychiatric aides.
abstract: 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.
