Description
Summary:In a 2-day assessment program evaluated the degree of active participation in the group situational exercises, and administrative and decision-making ability of 47 members of a large national marketing organization. Paper-and-pencil ability tests and personality inventories were less clearly related to assessments of managerial potential. Ratings of management potential developed from a careful review of company personnel records were as highly correlated with the assessment center data as were overall ratings from the 2-day program, except for ratings dealing with interpersonal behavior.
