Summary
We conducted a criterion-related validity (CRV) study of the relationship between CATS test scores and a set of performance-related criterion measures. We examined this relationship in a sample of US govern- ment analysts. Hypothesis 3: Critical thinking skills will predict performance beyond a set of individual characteristics, including general intelligence, educational attainment, gender, employment sector (i.e., whether civilian, military, or contractor), job experience related to the analytic work sample task, completion of training in structured analytic techniques, age, motivation on the CATS test, and motivation on the work sample task
