provide response to One test that is highly effective from Chapter 8 is the work sample test. These tests assess how well a candidate can perform specific job-related tasks, offering a hands-on evaluation of their capabilities. Software developer roles are especially ideal for these tests as they measure the skills that determine job performance - like coding ability, problem-solving, and debugging proficiency. Work sample tests are highly valid predictors of future job performance, especially when the tasks mirror actual job duties (Sackett & Lievens, 2008). Work sample tests eliminate a lot of the guesswork by observing real outputs, unlike personality or cognitive tests.

Work sample tests offer a more transparent approach making it more equitable as well
