Abstract
This study looked at the generalizability of several test types for a sample of craft jobs in the utility industry. Results indicated that, in line with previous research, cognitive tests seemed to generalize w ell across all the job types studied. On the other hand, perceptual an d psychomotor tests also seemed to generalize for assembly and less sk illed jobs. Combining these test types into batteries for future studi es is indicated.
