Washington Post: "Employment Exam Writers Tread Carefully"

An article published September 7 in the Washington Post discusses a recent speaking engagement by SIOP Fellow James Outtz, Outtz & Associates, Washington, D.C., at the August luncheon meeting of the Personnel Testing Council of Metropolitan Washington (PTC/MW).  

Outtz is one of the five distinguished SIOP Fellows who submitted an amicus brief to the Supreme Court in the Ricci case. The Washington Post article also includes SIOP members Rich Cober and Eric Dunleavy. The article, which refers to I-O psychologists as "employment exam writers," reads:

"It is a simple question, pulled straight from an employment test: "When firefighters arrive on the scene of a house fire, what should the lieutenant do first?" Simple enough, but wrapped into the answer is the complicated issue of employment discrimination.
