The sample included 712 participants who responded to personality and cognitive ability testing (CAT), and underwent an AC procedure.  AC results included the overall assessment rating (OAR) and peer evaluation (PE). Seven criterion measures were collected for 585 participants from a training stage and on-the-job performance. Results showed that the selection system was valid. Findings yielded significant unique validities of OAR and PE beyond CAT and of PE beyond OAR even after corrections for restriction of range.  Results support  the use of ACs for entry level candidates. - Reproduced.  aPolice  aFox, Shaul  aKasten, Ronen  aPersonnel Pschology
