Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The question explicitly mentions that mental functioning or intelligence is important for most jobs, making cognitive ability tests the most relevant predictor in selection. Mechanical ability tests may be relevant for certain jobs (e.g. mechanics, engineers), but are not as widely applicable as cognitive ability tests. Personality tests and emotional intelligence tests, while useful in certain contexts, are not as directly related to job performance as cognitive ability tests.
