Integrity Testing 1. Sackett notes that few tests are actually validated by comparing test scores to measures of actual employee theft or counterproductive behavior. How does he explain this? 2. Some people suggest that tests designed to measure honesty or integrity should be held to a higher standard than tests designed to measure other attributes (e.g., personality measures). What are the arguments for and against this suggestion? 3. One argument against the use of integrity tests in selection is that a person who fails one of these tests will never be able to find a decent job. What arguments does Sackett make in criticizing this idea?
