As a psychologist working in human resources, the priority would be to select a personnel selection test that improves the hit rate, i.e., the accuracy of the test in identifying the right candidate for the job. A better hit rate ensures that the organization can make informed decisions about the selection of employees and hire the most suitable candidate for the job. The other options such as identifying false positives, base rate, and selection ratio are also important, but they do not directly impact the accuracy or merit of the personnel selection test.
