Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The approach described is a simple regression approach because it uses a single predictor (cognitive ability test scores) to predict an outcome (performance) and makes decisions based on that prediction. Multiple regression would involve multiple predictors, multiple hurdle would involve a series of tests or criteria, and predictive validation is a method to assess the effectiveness of a selection tool, not an approach to selecting candidates based on predicted performance.
