Advances in Research on Individual Difference Effects in Training Contexts
Research on the effects of individual differences in training has proliferated in the last decade. This symposium highlights advances in research in this area and addresses issues surrounding the mechanisms underlying individual difference effects on learning, relationships among state- and trait-like constructs, and individual difference effects on team training effectiveness.

for Clerical Employees
We present results from two studies that suggest a curvilinear relationship between conscientiousness and job performance for clerical employees. In Study 1, we found a curvilinear relationship using biodata and situational judgment items. In Study 2, we found similar results using a traditional conscientiousness measure and controlling for cognitive ability.

22-17 Assessing Truth and Deception Types in Verbal Statements
In an attempt to detect deception, verbal analysis criteria were developed based on models of truth telling and deception. An experiment was conducted to test whether the new criteria discriminate three types of deceptive statements from truthful ones. Criteria from three of six categories of VA criteria were effective discriminators.

A meta-analysis of the relationship between business school performance and both GMAT scores and UGPA
(N = 33,689, k = 213, r = 640) shows that both GMAT scores and UGPA are valid predictors of GPA in business school. A combination of GMAT-V and GMAT-Q is shown to be a better predictor than UGPA.

Practical intelligence is a proposed alternative to cognitive ability tests used in selection. The nomological net of practical intelligence measures was meta-analytically examined. Although practical intelligence correlated moderately with job performance, it was strongly related to g and added negligible incremental validity in predicting job and academic performance.

Inaccuracy caused by sampling error poses a risk of overcorrection with low r and moderate selection ratios. With two exceptions all correction formulas perform well.
