| Abstract: | In this age of high tech, employers are increasingly relying on some rather low-tech, and often unreliable, methods for selecting employees. They seem no longer interested in experience, skills, and character to determine whether an individual is qualified for a particular job. Instead they have delegated the task of screening applicants to impersonal measurements - urianalysis, blood tests, fingerprints, psychological tests, pen-and-pensil honesty tests, computerized criminal-record checks, and even handwriting analysis and astrology. |
