It reviews the North American as well as the European contributions to this field. The review is divided into five parts: (1) potential advantages and limitations of CBT and its reliability and validity; (2) the equivalent of the conventional form and CBT; (3) the acceptability of CBT; (4) innovative uses of computers in assessment; and (5) ethical issues concerning the use of CBTs. In conclusion, the utility of CBT in personnel selection is discussed, and potential directions for future research and practice are noted.
