These studies<br /> have disclosed that the judgments of interviewers differ markedly and bear little<br /> or no relationship to the adequacy of the job applicants. Of the many reasons why<br /> this should be the case, three in particular stand out.<br /> The first reason is related to an error of judgment known as the halo<br /> effect. If a person has one noticeable good trait, their other characteristics will be<br /> judged as better than they really are. Thus, an individual who dresses smartly and<br /> shows self-confidence is likely to be judged capable of doing a job well<br /> regardless of his or her real ability.<br /> Interviewers are also prejudiced by an effect called the primacy effect.<br /> This error occurs when interpretation of later information is distorted by earlier<br /> connected information. Hence, in an interview situation, the interviewer spends<br /> most of the interview trying to confirm the first impression given by the<br /> <br /> candidate in the first few moments. Studies have repeatedly demonstrated that<br /> such an impression is unrelated to the aptitude of the applicant.<br /> The phenomenon known as the contrast effect also skews the judgment of<br /> interviewers. A suitable candidate may be underestimated because he or she<br /> contrasts with a previous one who appears exceptionally intelligent. Likewise, an<br /> average candidate who is preceded by one who gives a weak showing may be<br /> judged as more suitable than he or she really is.<br /> Since interviews as a form of personnel selection have been shown to be<br /> inadequate, other selection procedures have been devised which more accurately<br /> predict candidate suitability. Of the accurate tests devised, the predictor which<br /> appears to do this most successfully is cognitive ability as measured by a variety<br /> of verbal and spatial tests.<br /> Question 36: The word “they” in line 6 refers to _______.<br /> A. applicants<br /> B.judgments<br /> C.<br /> interviewers<br /> D.<br /> characteristics<br /> Question 37: The word “this” in line 20 refers to _______.<br /> A. measure cognitive ability<br /> B. devise personnel selection<br /> C. predict candidate suitability<br /> D. devise accurate tests<br /> Question 38: This passage mainly discusses the _______.<br /> A. Judgments of interviewers concerning job applicants.<br /> B. Inadequacy of interviewing job applicants.<br /> C. Effects of interviewing on job applicants.<br /> D. Techniques that interviewers use for judging job applicants.<br /> Question 39: According to the passage, the halo effect _______.<br /> A. leads an error of judgment between good trait and real ability<br /> B. takes effect only when a candidate is well -dressed<br /> C. stands out as the worst judgmental error<br /> D. helps the interviewer’s capability to judge real ability<br /> Question 40: The word “hindrance” in line 1 is closest in meaning to _______.<br /> A. assistance<br /> B. encouragement<br /> C.<br /> procedure<br /> D. interference<br /> Question 41: According to the passage the first impression _______.<br /> A. can easily be altered<br /> B. is unrelated to the interviewer’s<br /> prejudices<br /> C. makes candidates’ interpretation distorted D. has been repeatedly<br /> demonstrated to the applicant<br /> Question 42: The author mentions all of the following reasons why interviewing<br /> is not an accurate way to predict candidate suitability EXCEPT the _______.<br /> A. primacy effect B. halo effect<br /> C. contrast effect<br /> D.<br /> cognitive effect<br /> <br />
