Evaluation of the Screener Aptitude Test Battery Items

摘要

Six perceptual and cognitive tests were fielded at 18 major US airports to211u001edevelop a screener aptitude test to reliably, validly, and fairly predict future 211u001eperformance of checkpoint security screener candidates. Performance measures 211u001eincluded both knowledge acquisition and training transfer to the field. Some 211u001etests correlated with computer-based training performance or threat image 211u001eprojection detection data (Hidden Figures Test, Hidden Patterns Test, Spatial 211u001eRelations Test) while others did not. Some of these three tests showed adverse 211u001eimpact for minorities and women (Hidden Figures Test, Spatial Relations Test). 211u001eWhile reliability, validity, and fairness concerns were associated with 211u001eindividual tests at this stage, their limitations may be overcome by a test 211u001ebattery onstructed from revisions of the particular tests found to predict 211u001elearning and training transfer.
