Read the City of New London, Connecticut, Police Department in Chapter 5 ofIndustrial/Organizational Psychology. In a well-written paper, answer the following questions:

• Do you agree with New London’s reasoning about being “too bright”?

• How would you have determined the cognitive ability requirements for this job?

Adhere to the following standards:

• Your paper should be two to four pages in length, not including the title or references pages.
• Review the grading rubric, which can be accessed on the Materials link for each week.
• Your paper should include an introduction, a body with at least two fully developed paragraphs, and a conclusion.
• Support your interpretation with evidence from the book and at least two peer-reviewed journal articles from the library.
