I want a peer reviewed paper that answers these questions:
What are the exact instructions for "observing the process"?
Does it measure some underlying factor that's independent of the examiner?
How do we disentangle the influence of youth, good looks, and verbal skills?
I suspect the answers won't be flattering to those who think they can measure creativity today.
- jacquesm 11y agoYou could apply that list to any interview process. Essentially you are saying that there is no such thing as a fair interview process (and I'd agree with that).
- cousin_it 11y agoYeah, I dislike "isolated demands for rigor" as much as the next guy, but... no. Just no. There are tons of peer reviewed studies on interviewing. In particular, there are tons of studies on measuring IQ, which is the best known predictor of job performance for a wide variety of jobs. (Yes, better than work sample tests or anything else you might name in five minutes.) See Schmidt & Hunter 1998 for a pretty good meta-analysis. That's the standard I'd like to see when we talk about measuring creativity.
