The authors extend previous research by using meta-analysis to examine the relationships between AC dimensions, personality, cognitive ability, and job performance. The results indicate that the 7 summary AC dimensions postulated by W. Arthur, Jr., E. A. Day, T. L. McNelly, & P. S. Edens (2003) are distinguishable from popular individual difference constructs and explain a sizeable proportion of variance in job performance beyond cognitive ability and personality.  \nKeywords: assessment center, incremental validity, meta-analysis  \nManagerial assessment centers (ACs) continue to be a popular assessment method in both administrative and developmental contexts (Howard, 1997; Woehr, 2006) . For administrative purposes, ACs have enjoyed continued use due in large part to their high fidelity (Cascio & Aguinis, 2005), strong criterion-related validity evidence (Arthur, Day, McNelly, & Edens, 2003), and a lack of subgroup differences in scores (Howard & Bray, 1988; Huck & Bray, 1976; Thornton & Rupp, 2006) . Further, ACs have seen increasing use in management and leadership development programs largely because of their apparent objectivity relative to other alternatives (e.g., 360° feedback), more favorable applicant reactions in comparison with other predictors (Macan, Avedon, Paese,& Smith, 1994), and the positive impact on feedback acceptance (Cascio & Aguinis, 2005) .  \nAlthough the AC method is popular and frequently used, the construct-related validity of the performance dimensions assessed continues to be perceived as its Achilles heel (Lance, 2008) . However, two recent meta-analyses have demonstrated relatively favorable validity evidence for AC dimensions. Specifically, Arthur et al. (2003) proposed that the myriad of espoused AC dimensions found in the literature could be reliably collapsed into a smaller, conceptually distinct set of seven dimensions. Using this  \nJohn P.

Similarly, using the same seven-dimension taxonomy, Bowler and Woehr (2006) demonstrated that a model consisting of both dimension and exercise factors provided the best representation of AC dimension ratingsand that exercise effects were only slightly larger in magnitude than dimension effects.  \nAnother potential concern regarding the validity of AC ratings involves the extent to which they make an incremental contribution to the prediction of relevant criteria.
