Question

Assertion (A): Tests are more useful in identifying and eliminating unsuitable candidates.

Reasoning (R): Tests are fully reliable and they do not involve time and money.

Options

• A is true and R is the correct explanation for A.

• A is true and R is not the correct explanation for A.

• A is true, but R is false.

• A is false, but R is true.

Answer 1

A is true, but R is false.

Explanation:

The assertion is true because selection tests serve as an effective initial screening method, objectively identifying and eliminating individuals who lack the necessary aptitude or intelligence for the position. However, the reasoning is false because no test can ever be deemed completely reliable in predicting human behavior, and the process of designing, administering, and evaluating these tests necessitates a large investment of time and money.
