Employment Law Question

Of the different types of testing available to employers, which testing do you least agree with? why?​

Answer 1

Physical Ability Tests

Physical ability tests typically use tasks or exercises that require physical ability to perform. These tests typically measure physical attributes and capabilities, such as strength, balance, and speed.

I least agree with it because of the following reasons :

They are typically more likely to differ in results by gender than other types of tests.

It may be problematic for use in employee selection if the test is one used to diagnose medical conditions (i.e., a physical disability) rather than simply to assess ability to perform a particular job-related task.

It can be expensive to purchase equipment and administer.

It may be time consuming to administer.

It may be inappropriate or difficult to administer in typical employment offices.
