Abstract

Results are reported from an investigation of the predictive power of three interviewer social status and five personality factors in a multiple regression analysis with four interviewer performance criteria. Personality factors are found to be more predictive of performance than social status. Clearly, one can improve the probability of hiring quality interviewers by collecting and evaluating social status and personality characteristics of applicants. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
