Despite extensive scientific research in organizational setting (Mell, 1988; Schuler, 2001 etc.), Human Resource practitio-ners attribute their successful decisions to intuition (Nowicki & Rosse, 2002). In the Studies 1 to 4, personnel decisions made by the participants with different cognitive styles were tested. Participants were asked to select the best candidate based on his resume and recommendations (Study 1). The candidates had to be evaluated after the structured interview (Study 2) or after the group discussion during the Assessment Center (Study 4).
