TLDR
Ree and Earles as mentioned in this paper summarized a vast research literature on the efficacy of g, or general intelli gence, in predicting job performance, both in training phases and in application of job knowledge and skills to actual job performance.Abstract:
In their article, Ree and Earles summarized a vast research literature on the efficacy of g, or general intelli gence, in predicting job performance, both in training phases and in application of job knowledge and skills to actual job performance. In every case cited, g correlated from .33 in range-restricted samples to .76 in more general population samples of job applicants. Non-g aptitudes added little to the prediction from g. Critics of the connection between general intelligence and job performance voice their objections and counterpoints in an article and several comments that follow.read more

Why g matters: The complexity of everyday life
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide evidence that intelligence has pervasive utility in work settings because it is essentially the ability to deal with cognitive complexity, in particular, with complex information processing, and the more complex a work task, the greater the advantages that higher g confers in performing it well.

4. Personal initiative: An active performance concept for work in the 21st century
Michael Frese,Doris Fay +1 more
TL;DR: Personal initiative is defined as self-starting and proactive work behavior that overcomes barriers to achieve a goal as discussed by the authors, and it is argued that future workplaces will require people to show more personal initiative than before, and that current concepts of performance and organizational behavior are more reactive than desirable.

TL;DR: The rationale for competency tests has been dispelled by G.R. Barrett and R.L. Depinet as mentioned in this paper, who argued that competence tests are more content specific than typical aptitude tests.

A Reconsideration of Testing for Competence Rather than for Intelligence.
TL;DR: This review of the literature showed only limited support for David C. McClelland's claims that "competencies" would be better able to predict important behaviors than would more traditional tests.
