Abstract
Recently, there have been concerns raised about the General Aptitude Test Battery, an instrument used extensively by state and federal agencies to assess those seeking jobs. These concerns involved the legality of the present GATB scoring system (from an equal employment opportunity standpoint), as well as the psychometric quality and validity of the instrument. For these and other reasons, the National Research Council was contacted by the Department of Labor to examine the present GATB. This paper will discuss those concerns raised about the GATB, the conclusions reached by the National Research Council, and recent developments in legislation which directly effect use of the GATB.
