| Abstract: | Obtained final ratings on 25 assessment dimensions for 382 candidates for high-level management positions in an Israeli corporation. The ratings were determined by an assessment center process, 2 clinically derived assessment scores, and a mechanically derived assessment score. For 49 of the assessees, scores were also available on a battery of paper-and-pencil cognitive tests. For all Ss, data were obtained on 2 criterion measures over a period of 4 yrs. Both the general intelligence rating formulated in the assessment center and the scores on the cognitive tests were found to be predictively invalid, while the personality measure proved valid. Despite the modest coefficients of predictive validity found for the other assessment center predictors, the economic utility analysis performed with an amended formula demonstrated a cost-effectiveness for the assessment center program.
