美国在世界经济市场上的竞争力下降，重新引起了人们对就业测试的兴趣，认为这是一种将合适的工人安置在合适的工作岗位上的方法。美国劳工部的一般能力测试电池（GATB）转介系统的一项新研究揭示了美国雇主的关键问题：GATB预测工作成功的程度如何？调整少数民族考试成绩有科学依据吗？增加使用GATB是否会导致生产力的大幅提高？就业公平测试评估了用于证明在美国工作范围内使用GATB的有效性推广技术以及调整测试分数以促进平等机会的政策。
Declining American competitiveness in world economic markets has renewed interest in employment testing as a way of putting the right workers in the right jobs. A new study of the U.S. Department of Labor's General Aptitude Test Battery (GATB) Referral System sheds light on key questions for America's employers: How well does the GATB predict job success? Are there scientific justifications for adjusting minority test scores? Will increased use of the GATB result in substantial increases in productivity? Fairness in Employment Testing evaluates both the validity generalization techniques used to justify the use of the GATB across the spectrum of U.S. jobs and the policy of adjusting test scores to promote equal opportunity.
