creator Van Overberghe, Courtney T. advisor Mead, Alan Two adaptive interviews – adding questions based on low or high scores from a personality assessment – were compared to a structured interview. In a mock selection process, it was found that the adaptive and structured interviews had similar correlations with performance on a role play task. However, due to the added length of the adaptive interview, it had slightly less utility than a structured interview. A cognitive measure and the interview conditions were better predictors of performance than the personality questionnaire, which had no relationship with performance. A post-hoc analysis found that the social desirable scale from the personality instrument correlated negatively with the structured interview, the role play and the IQ test, and positively correlated with the personality composite score.
