ABSTRACT
Certainly one of the most perplexing concerns for those involved in assessing human talent for the purpose of making selection decisions regarding employment, admission to academic institutions, or other high-stakes decisions is the fact that cognitive ability tests typically show substantial differences between racial or ethnic subgroups. The magnitude of these differences is such that the use of cognitive ability tests in these situations almost always produces differences in the proportion of members of different racial groups who receive a desired outcome in these high-stakes situations. These proportional differences are the subject of this book.
