[RPClare at aol.com]

excellent post making it a whole different perspective...more like a Py  
test than "integrity.

Using the Employment incentory  (EI), I have conducted validity studies for 
bus drivers (using criteria such  as chargeable/non-chargeable accidents, 
workers’ comp claims, absenteeism,  etc. with excellent results. A similar 
study for nursing assistants also  produced high validities. 
I have also used measures of  conscientiousness ( a more accurate 
nomenclature than integrity tests) for a  relatively wide group of public sector 
positions including laborers and fire  fighters. 
Labelling people as “failing  an integrity test” is problematic. Given 
conscientiousness’s status as a big 5  personality characteristic – I prefer “
demonstrating higher levels of  conscientiousness”.

Subject:  [IPAC-List] Use of integrity assessments in public  sector

Happy 2014 to  all! 
I am curious about the group’s  thoughts about a question that was recently 
posed by a colleague regarding the  use of integrity tests in the public 
sector. Integrity tests are used fairly  broadly in the private sector for 
individuals applying for “positions of  trust.” However, neither of us were 
aware of their usage in the public sector  (setting aside the use of 
psychological assessments for the selection of  public safety officers which uses a 
different set of assessments much broader  in scope ).  Anyone have any 
thoughts or anecdata?  Thanks- 
Reid
