Personality Testing Selective Placing Factor Questions

Imagine that you have been hired to offer consultation to a law enforcement organization seeking to select a pool of internal candidates for special operations assignments involving dangerous, long-term undercover enforcement operations. The hiring managers believe that this process should begin with a personality test. They are seeking individuals with high integrity who are able to maintain the complexities of deceit involved in undercover work, while maintaining ethical standards. Prepare a white paper in which you discuss the following:

What is the best instrument available to test personality? Why?
Can personality tests be skewed by the individual being tested?
What does the research literature tell us about the relationship between personality and job performance?
What personality traits may contribute to positive and negative outcomes for undercover law enforcement operations? Is there a restricted range for prediction accuracy in terms of job success?
What are the concerns of using personality tests for individuals from diverse ethnic, age, and gender groups?
As an I/O consultant, how would you apply the results of personality testing to develop a strategy to develop a pool of viable candidates? Are there better alternatives to fulfill the organizational need?If yes, what are they? If no, why?

ORDER CUSTOM, PLAGIARISM-FREE PAPER

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.

Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.

Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.

The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
