A content‐oriented strategy was used to develop three “alternative” selection inventories designed to reflect the content domain of positions held by attorneys employed with a large federal agency. These inventories and three “traditional” inventories were completed by 329 of the agency attorneys as part of a concurrent validation study. Criterion‐related validities of two of the “traditional” inventories (a Background Inventory and an Interest and Opinion Inventory) and one of the alternative inventories (an “Accomplishment Record” SM Inventory were shown to be both statistically and practically significant. The special features and advantages of the “Accomplishment Record” Inventory as an alternative selection procedure are discussed.
