A test or selection process is said to have adverse impact if it does
not meet the "80% Fourfifths Rule." Here, the hiring rate for
minorities is divided by the figure for nonminorities. If the
quotient is less than 80% (4/5s), then adverse impact is evident.

Thus, a typical exam question might inform you that a firm's
selection process is such that 60 of the employees hired are Black,
while 80 are White. You would then be asked to determine
whether the selection process was plagued via adverse impact.
Your computation would be: 60/80=75%. Since 75% is less than
80%, the process would indeed have an adverse impact.
The trait-and-factor theory assumed that via psychological testing
one's personality could be matched to an occupation which
stressed those particular personality traits. Some industrial
psychology exams will speak of "profile matching." In this
approach, a job candidate's personality or skills profile is matched
to that of successful workers. The decision to hire is then based on
the closeness or similarity of the match based on a pattern of
predictor scores. Choice "d," the developmental approach, views
career decisions as longitudinal and reversible.

best or single career for the person.
The Parsons's work mentioned earlier (i.e., Choosing a Vocation)
stressed a careful self-analysis conducted "under guidance" and
then put down on paper to determine your personal "traits." The
traits could then be matched to occupations using advice from
individuals who had "made a careful study of men and vocations of
the conditions of success."
512. The trait-and-factor career counseling, actuarial, or matching
approach (which matches clients with a job) is associated with
a. Parsons and Williamson.
