Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Requiring applicants to bring a portfolio of past advertising appearances for review is a performance test, as it evaluates the applicant's ability to perform the task of being a spokesperson. It is not discriminatory because it is related to job performance and does not discriminate against any particular group. It is also not a personality or integrity test as it does not assess personality traits or ethical behaviors. The validity of this requirement would depend on the relevance of past advertising appearances to the current job requirements.
