For example, Hewlett-Packard Co. flags those of its 330,000 employees who are most likely to quit their job â then, a small but growing number of managers review these predictions.
When the computerâs prediction is correct (a true positive), might there be qualms about divulging an employeeâs private intentions to the one person from whom he or she may most adamantly wish to keep it private â his or her boss?

This is something I've been wondering about. many cos require a test before hiring. WMT is an example, I suppose to see if you would be suitable for the intended purpose of the job.
My question is this, does this result in lower turnover?
It doesn't surprise me that for litigation purpose, etc predictive "tests" are a good defense in a lawsuit re race, age, gender etc.
