Why is integrity testing important?
Integrity testing can predict employee productivity (both in terms of quantity and quality), absenteeism, and inventory shrinkage, and can also help cut back on unsafe employee work behaviors. These uses can lead to significant savings for an organization. Additionally, group differences (e.g., between blacks and whites) in integrity test scores tend to border on the trivial. Therefore, integrity tests do not raise concerns of adverse impact for minority groups (e.g., blacks, Hispanics) in the way that measures of cognitive ability can.
