College of Doctoral Studies PSY-838 Quantitative Measures Data To carry out a validation study, an I/O psychologist is developing a regression equation from data collected from those hired two years ago. Specifically, the I/O psychologist is examining the relationship between extraversion, cognitive skills, and communication ability on sales performance (the dependent measure). The data are shown below. Extraversion Cognitive Skills 6 5 5 3 7 4 6 5 5 5 10 10 8 7 14 9 9 9 11 10 Communication Ability 19 14 14 13 16 11 15 10 20 17 Sales Performance $ 21000 21000 22000 15000 22000 17000 28000 19000 16000 18000 Currently, the same I/O psychologist must make a decision about which two applicants to hire for sales positions. There are 10 applicants for the position, who completed quantitative measures on the same predictors above. The data are shown below.
