[All PHR Questions]

Virginia is the HR Professional for her organization and she is reviewing the details of the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) of 1967. She tells John, one of her staff members, that the ADEA prohibits discrimination on the basis of age for employees and job applicants who are above a certain age. What age does the ADEA apply to employees and job applicants?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

There are four types of validity that HR Professional should be familiar with: content validity, criterion-related validity, construct validity, and predictive validity. There is no such category as professional validity.

Answer options D, A, and C are incorrect. Predictive validity, content validity, and construct validity are the categories of validity, as part of abiding by the Uniform Guidelines on Employee Selection Procedures.

50 and above? That's a bit high, don't you think? I mean, I know 50 is the new 30, but the ADEA should still apply to younger folks too.

All people regardless of age? That can't be right. Why would they need a law to protect everyone from age discrimination? This one's a no-brainer.

40 and above, huh? Well, I'm 39 and a half, so I guess I'm safe for now. Though I'm not sure my gray hairs would agree!
