Ep. 68 Nov 12th, 2023 - Dr. Paul Sackett - Revisiting Assessment Validity Post Schmidt & Hunter (1998)

Directionally Correct, A People Analytics Podcast with Cole & Scott

Dr. Paul Sackett, (who almost needs no introduction in the iopsych community) is the Beverly and Richard Fink Distinguished Professor of Psychology at the University of Minnesota, joins the Directionally Correct podcast to his recent bombshell research to revise the arguably most famous iopsych study, Schmidt & Hunter 1998. In this episode, we discuss in great detail the science behind Paul’s revised research (this is probably a good episode to watch on video), and more shenanigans in the Nerdery.
