ErikS Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 5-4 19 white firefighters and one hispanic receive promotions, back pay and benefits. Score one for the good guys and the rule of law.

Pops Racer Posted June 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 It's hard to comprehend that I would go to a high school admin and complain about test structure if my kid fails an algebra exam. Read Alitos opinion. He claims/accuse Mayor D. of political BS with a black preacher FD comish, even preparing to void results before they were revealed. So they wanted inferior men/women in a life saving job? I don't car if your purple you better be the best firefighter on the ladder if your coming to my window. I applied and tested for position in the NHFD, around 1978. I finished top 10% in the physical test, which is extremely rigorous, and top 10% in written exam. I never had a chance.

I never had a chance. 100% agreement with your OP Sean. 31 years ago we didn't see the value in psychometics and proving tests were reliable and vaild, so I feel your frustration. This was all political, and had nothing to do with the efficacy of the test. The NHFD paid alot of money to get there promotional exam designed properly, and they got there monies worth. If any of you about to be/in college kids are reading, look into Industrial Organizational Psychology as a major. There's a job waiting for you somewhere.

Pops Racer Posted July 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 AS expected, the anti-Sonya's are calling Ricci to testify, and equally as expected but more appalling, is the personal destruction that has been unleashed on him from the left. Thank you Begala and Carville. You scum. Any civility left in politics was destroyed by those 2 punks and the rest of the Clintonistas. You bought a new XC60? How is it?
