Which of the following is a reason NOT to use assessment centers when hiring?

A) Cognitive instruments are more effective.
B) Applicants generally dislike the process.
C) Assessment centers are generally biased against certain groups.
D) Assessment centers can be very expensive.


Answer: D
Rationale: Given the number of tests and the complexity of the simulations involved, assessment centers can be time-consuming (they can last multiple days) and expensive (as much as $1,000 per day for a single candidate) to operate. Their validity is typically higher than cognition-based tests however.
