Abstract
Six papers concerning fairness in employment testing are reviewed. The fairness issue, per se, is not treated in a balanced or complete fashion. The papers focus, quite specifically and narrowly, on legal, theoretical, and societal issues. While the perspective within some of the material is fresh, little of the information is new. A major topic is the conflict between efficiency and equity. No resolution or hope of resolution between these conflicting goals is to be found in these writings. Neither are new or creative propositions presented that might mitigate the tensions that arise from trying to achieve equity and efficiency. Industrial psychologists and governmental lawyers seem to be retreating into even more rigidly defined positions. As a result, the reviewer sees a future marked by long, costly, and destructive litigation.
