Arguments evaluation (role of interview in selection): Should the interview stage be eliminated from selection processes? Assess—(I) Yes: interviews are highly subjective in assessment; (II) No: interviews are the only instrument to judge motives and personality—examining bias risks vs. exclusivity claims.

Given data

• Issue: Whether to remove interviews from selection.
• Argument I: Points to subjectivity and potential bias—valid concern.
• Argument II: Claims interviews are the only tool for motives/personality—an extreme claim.

Concept/ApproachA strong argument is realistic and avoids exclusivity. Bias is a known issue; however, personality can also be assessed via structured interviews, psychometrics, simulations—so II is weak.

Step-by-step evaluationStep 1: I identifies a genuine flaw—subjectivity—hence strong.Step 2: II's 'only instrument' assertion is incorrect—hence weak.

Verification/AlternativeModern selection uses multi-method assessments, undermining II's exclusivity claim.

Common pitfalls

• Confusing 'useful' with 'only'—overstating necessity.

Final AnswerOnly argument I is strong.
