Abstract

McDaniel, Kepes, and Banks (2011) argue that the Uniform Guidelines on Employee Selection Procedures promulgated by agencies of the U.S government ‘‘have substantial influence’’ on personnel selection” but are ‘‘inaccurate and inconsistent with professional practice.’’ This reply maintains that the authors’ concerns are not primarily a problem with the Uniform Guidelines; revision does not necessarily address these concerns and introduces new complications. The actual problem and its resolution lie with the psychological profession.
