Question

Which is not a tool used by personnel psychologists? unstructured interviews structured interviews performance appraisals structured appraisals unstructured appraisals?

Answer 1

Personnel psychologists are a type of psychologists who specializes in the recruitment, selection, and evaluation of the workforce. They are part of the industrial/organizational psychology specialization.

Personnel psychologists use a variety of tools in appraising a job applicant, but they generally would not use structured appraisals and unstructured appraisals; the former isn’t clear as to what it is appraising and how it would be relevant to the recruitment and selection process, while the latter is not recommended for use in any situations due to possible lack of validity.
