Abstract

Companies used widely differing techniques to identify and promote individuals with managerial talent. The present study examined the predictive power of a new psychometric instrument as an indicator of managerial ability in an Australian business setting. The new test, a complex activity which requires the performance of two tasks presented simultaneously, measures the individual's capacity to deal with situations involving stress and high information load. The results obtained with 27 company employees indicate that competing tasks significantly improve the predictive power of the selection process. We recommend their use in this context.
