Paul R. Sackett
Distinguished Scientific Contributions Award

Paul R. Sackett (University of Minnesota) has contributed to our understanding of the relationships between the psychometric, philosophical, empirical, and legal issues in personnel selection.

He has also contributed to our understanding of counterproductive behavior and the validity and meaning of integrity. Finally, he cochaired the development of the most recent Standards for Educational and Psychological Testing, which helps to define the science and practice of psychological testing.
