Answer 1

Answer:

Compensatory Scoring.

Explanation:

In the process of selection for a particular job or to be admitted into a particular role there are different forms of assessment to be done by the person seeking the admission.

If the selectors still select such candidate for that role it means that the candidate was selected based on Compensatory Scoring.

Alayna is applying for a job as a computer technician. Although she receives a relatively low score on a cognitive ability test, she is selected for the job based on her high scores on both a job knowledge test and a structured interview. The approach that was most likely used in this case is a MULTIPLE HURDLE SYSTEM.
