The D-V Dilemma

Question

The D-V Dilemma

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The D-V Dilemma (Diversity-Validity Dilemma) refers to the contradiction between increasing employee diversity and reliance on valid measures that often show adverse impact. This dilemma arises because traditional selection methods, such as cognitive ability tests, have been shown to have a disparate impact on certain minority groups. While increasing diversity is a desirable goal for many organizations, it requires careful consideration of assessment methods to ensure that they do not unfairly screen out certain groups.
