Grocery Mart has an opening for a produce manager position. As part of the hiring process, Grocery Mart requires potential employees to complete an aptitude test that involves a series of algebraic formula questions and also several questions designed to examine the applicant’s critical thinking ability. Frank, a 42-year-old male, has been looking for a produce manager position for several years and his career path has prepared him for that role. However, Frank is not good with tests and he is unable to pass the aptitude test at the level required by Grocery Mart. As a result, Frank does not get the position. Frank claims that the test is not legal because it discriminates against males because it is scientifically proven that males have inferior algebra and critical thinking skills than females. (Assume, for purposes of this question, that this is indeed true).
Discuss whether Grocery Mart’s policy of administering this test is legal or whether Frank’s claim is valid.
