We want you to design an employment selection program for hiring stock traders. We already know what to look for as far as technical skills are concerned- accounting courses, economics, and so on. What we want is a program for screening out potential bad apples. To that end, please let us know the following. What screening tests would you suggest and why?

What else (if anything) would you suggest?
