[IPAC-List] Seeking copy of Test 21

[Dennis Doverspike]

My recollection is that this case is usually used to support content
validity.  Because the SC specifically said you do not need to have a
statistical relationship between the test and job performance to prove job
relatedness.  Job relatedness can be demonstrated in other ways than a
strict correlation between the test and performance on the job.
