To demonstrate the greatest incremental validity, Lisette should choose a second predictor that is different from general cognitive ability and that provides information that is relevant to job performance. Integrity tests have been found to be a valid predictor of job performance and are not highly correlated with general cognitive ability, making them a good choice for maximizing incremental validity. Unstructured interviews, application blanks, and realistic job previews are less likely to provide substantial incremental validity beyond general cognitive ability.
