“…What underlies individual differences in work performance? Many studies have explored the role of acquired knowledge, as measured by selection tests such as the Wonderlic and the Armed Forces Qualification Test (Schmidt et al, 1986;Schmidt et al, 1988;Hunter, 2017;Furnham, 2012;Rakhmanov & Dane, 2021). Although these tests are often described as measures of "general cognitive ability" (see, e.g., Berry et al, 2006;LePine et al, 2000), the Wonderlic and Armed Forces Qualification Test are perhaps better described as domain-specific tests of verbal and numerical knowledge (e.g., Roberts et al, 2000).…”

“…We used the 30-question WPT-Q version of the Wonderlic Personnel Test (Wonderlic 1992). It is a short yet valid version that has been applied in several prior studies (Hendy and Biderman 2019;Rakhmanov and Dane 2021;Tews et al 2011). At the end of the online experiment, participants reported their demographics.…”

Group work is a commonly used method of working, and the performance of a group can vary depending on the type and structure of the task at hand. Research suggests that groups can exhibit "collective intelligence"—the ability to perform well across tasks—under certain conditions, making group performance somewhat predictable. However, predictability of task performance becomes difficult when a task relies heavily on coordination among group members or is ill-defined. To address this issue, we propose a technical solution in the form of a chatbot providing advice to facilitate group work for more predictable performance. Specifically, we target well-defined, high-coordination tasks. Through experiments with 64 virtual groups performing various tasks and communicating via text-based chat, we found a relationship between the average intelligence of group members and their group performance in such tasks, making performance more predictable. The practical implications of this research are significant, as the assembly of consistently performing groups is an important organizational activity.

Across two studies (N > 800), we investigated the contributions of acquired knowledge, attention control, and psychomotor ability to performance in complex simulated work paradigms. Study 1 was conducted online and included three-minute “Squared” tests of attention control and two tests of acquired knowledge, the Wonderlic and the Armed Forces Qualification Test. Although all measures predicted performance at the bivariate level, hierarchical regression analyses and structural equation modeling revealed that acquired knowledge did not account for significant incremental validity above and beyond attention control, whereas attention control accounted for substantial variance above and beyond the other predictors. Study 2 was conducted in-lab and included tests of attention control and versions of two official U.S. Military selection tests: the Armed Forces Qualification Test and the Performance-Based Measures assessment, a subtest of the Aviation Selection Test Battery. Attention control fully mediated the relationship between the Performance Based Measures and simulated work performance. Attention control measures also demonstrated slightly smaller gender differences in performance than the Performance Based Measures. We discuss the implications of these results from theoretical and applied perspectives.
