FAIR PLAY OR FOUL - A SURVEY OF OCCUPATIONAL TEST PRACTICES IN THE UK

Presents a study to ascertain the extent to which organizations employing occupational testing conformed to good practice in testing as defined by professional and advisory codes of practice. Utilizes an ethical framework built around mutual contractual obligations with ''limiting principles'' as moral rules governing employers testing behaviour. Offers data in support of the contention that some employers are not adhering to the good advice whereby tests takers rights are assured. Concludes with indications for future directions of research and practice.
