Assessment Test xli Clarification of Explanation in Answer to Question 30 on the Assessment Test
The third sentence in the explanation, "An adverse impact (C) is any negative result of a change to any of the terms and conditions of employment." should read:
"The EEOC defines adverse impact (C) as a substantially different rate of selection in hiring, promotion, or other employment decision which works to the disadvantage of members of a race, sex, or ethnic group.”

B. is still the correct answer

The answer and explanation for Chapter 4, question 7 on the CD are incorrect. The correct answer and explanation are as follows:
Answer: C. To determine whether adverse impact has occurred, multiply the highest selection rate, which is Asian, at 18%, by 4/5 or 80%. (18% X .80 = 14%). Only two groups fall below 14%, Hispanic and Native American, both at 13%.
