In his research on interview procedures and questions, Huffcutt found that:
| many popular interview questions such as "What are your strengths and weaknesses?" have very low or nonexistent predictive validity. |
| interview questions are essentially a projective test, so one question is as good as any other, when it comes to predictive validity. |
| interview questions can have good predictive validity, but only if the interviewer knows a great deal about the candidate beforehand. |
| a free-flowing unstructured interview procedure is a better way of assessing the overall quality of a candidate than is a structured interview with standardized questions. |
| interview questions are very good at eliciting valid information about "will-do" factors, but very weak at eliciting valid information about "can-do" factors. |
