Abstract
Two measures of job performance of 301 employees of a manufacturing en terprise in Quebec (the criteria) were used to assess the stability of predictive validity over time of two specific intelligence tests, OTI S and BETA, whilst the moderating effects of two other variables, tenu re and job complexity, were also examined. The predictive validity of the tests was not time-based but when job complexity was considered, t he validity increased in relation to the complexity of the job.
