| Abstract: | Developed a work sample checklist from supervisors' ratings of important tasks and behaviors expected of maintenance mechanics. The test was given to 34 employees by an outside e, and checklist evaluations were compared with (a) supervisors' evaluation of each s on 3 factors; and (b) ss' responses on the test of mechanical comprehension, the wonderlic personnel test, and the short employment tests. Results indicate that performance on the work sample was significantly related to supervisory evaluations of job success, but that none of the validity coefficients for the paper-and-pencil tests was significant.
