Interviewing vs. Testing
The warden at a prison where you work has discovered that
parole decisions made by a panel of interviewers often turn out to be wrong,
with released prisoners often committing crimes and retained prisoners often
demonstrating model behavior. The warden asks the prison psychologist to make a
recommendation regarding whether parole decisions should be made on specific
test batteries or interviews. Assuming that you need to choose one or the
other, what would you recommend as a method for deciding paroleâ?”a test
battery or the panel interview?
A explanation of differences between objective (testing) and
subjective (interviewing) methods.
