Item Relative utility of computerized versus paper-and-pencil tests for predicting job performance(1977) Cory, Charles H.This article, the second of two, presents predictive validity data for on-job performance for a set of computerized Graphic and Interactive Processing (GRIP) tests in conjunction with data for both experimental paper-and-pencil and operational tests. Validity coefficients for job element and global criteria are reported for four different jobs. Experimental variables substantially enhanced the predictive accuracy of the operational battery for Sonar Technicians. Most experimental tests with significant validities were computer-administered. The GRIP tests were more useful than paper-and-pencil tests for identifying personnel skilled in Interpreting Visual Displays, Adjusting Equipment, and Working Under Distractions. They were useful supplements to paper-and-pencil tests for identifying skill in four additional job elements.Item Using computerized tests to measure new dimensions of abilities: An exploratory study(1977) Cory, Charles H.; Rimland, Bernard; Bryson, Rebecca A.A battery of Graphic Information Processing Tests (GRIP) was developed to utilize the display characteristics of computer terminals in measuring abilities important for processing visually presented information. The GRIP battery was especially intended to assess five "real world" personal attributes which have been difficult to measure with paper-and-pencil tests. The experimental tests were administered to 385 Navy enlisted men and evaluated in conjunction with paper-and-pencil tests of the same attributes as well as with operational cognitive tests and biographical variables. The GRIP tests were found to be useful for measuring short-term memory and sequential reasoning abilities.
