With the help of meta-analysis, Hunter & Schmidt advanced the idea of validity generalization, which suggests that some performance predictors, specifically cognitive ability tests ( see especially Hunter and Hunter & Schmidt ) have a relatively stable and positive relation to job performance across all jobs.

However, it has been challenged as to whether the measurement of job performance is usually done through pencil / paper tests, job skills tests, on-site hands-on tests, off-site hands-on tests, high-fidelity simulations, symbolic simulations, task ratings and global ratings.

Internal consistency, which addresses the homogeneity of a single test form, may be assessed by correlating performance on two halves of a test, which is termed split-half reliability ; the value of this Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient for two half-tests is adjusted with the Spearman – Brown prediction formula to correspond to the correlation between two full-length tests.

Reduced glutamate function is linked to poor performance on tests requiring frontal lobe and hippocampal function, and glutamate can affect dopamine function, both of which have been implicated in schizophrenia, have suggested an important mediating ( and possibly causal ) role of glutamate pathways in the condition.
