A company used a personality test to select job candidates for customer service

Question

A company used a personality test to select job candidates for customer service positions. There were 40 male candidates and 20 female candidates. It appeared that 30 men passed the personality test while 5 women passed the personality test. Was there evidence of disparate impact against female candidates with this personality test?

No, because this is an example of disparate treatment.
No, because a passing rate of 25% (5/20) for the female candidates is fairly good.
No, because the personality test may not be very reliable.
Yes, because the passing rate of the female candidates (25%) is less than 80% of the passing rate of the male candidates (75%).
No, because the passing rate of the female candidates (25%) is more than 20% of the passing rate of the male candidates (75%).

Explanation / Answer

No, because the personality test may not be very reliable.
