Responses of Massachusetts groups of 200 male and 200 female delinquents to the items of the School Interest Inventory were contrasted with 200 male and 200 female nondelinquents. The same procedure was followed with an identical number of subjects in Rhode Island. Items which appeared significant at the .20 level in at least one subgroup of 100…

Factors on the NATB most statistically related to job performance were conceptually similar to Jensen's Level 1 abilities, Cattell's Fluid Intelligence, Perceptual Speed Dexterity, and Memory. WAIS Verbal and Full-Scale IQs were not significantly related to employment success. Reading skill and other verbal abilities are not essential to NATB…

The primary aim of this study was to determine whether College Entrance Examination Board (CEEB) Achievement Test results provide additional information for the prediction of academic success beyond the normal data accumulated. The study presents two types of evidence: (1) a prediction of first semester grade point averages (GPA), and (2) a…

AN ATTEMPT WAS MADE TO DETERMINE WHETHER THE MEASURED ARTICULATION PERFORMANCE OF KINDERGARTEN CHILDREN COULD PREDICT WHICH CHILDREN WOULD DEVELOP SATISFACTORY ARTICULATION AND WHICH CHILDREN WOULD CONTINUE TO MISARTICULATE AND NEED SPEECH THERAPY BY THE SECOND GRADE. IN 1960, 2,150 PREKINDERGARTEN AND KINDERGARTEN CHILDREN WERE GIVEN A PICTURE…

Several recently developed measurement instruments, the General Aptitude Test Battery (GATB), the Comparative Guidance and Placement Program (CGP), the Kuder Occupational Interest Survey (DD), the Ohio Vocational Interest Survey (OVIS), and the Gordon Occupational Check List, are considered in connection with guidance testing for occupational…

This study was designed to develop a skill anaysis test battery which would aid in the prediction of achievement in two specific areas of training. A total of forty educable mentally retarded students in work study classes were selected for training. A three part rating scale specifically for this study was used as criterion meansure against the…

These measurement tests were developed or selected for use in a study of job performance prediction for Negro and white medical technicians. The aptitude tests used were selected from those available rather than developed for this study. These included the Kit of Reference Tests for Cognitive Behavior, the Fine Finger Dexterity Test, and the…

A total of 168 Negro and 296 white Medical Technicians participated in this study. A nine-scale performance rating form was developed and administered. Every technician was rated by at least two supervisors. A test of job knowledge was also given to all subjects. Among the correlations found were: (1) Negro workers received distinctly higher…

A self-report inventory was compared with a situational test as a predictor of the verbal behavior of individual members of small interpersonal skills training groups. As hypothesized, the situational test was a better predictor than was the self-report inventory. A powerful social conformity effect may have operated in both the situational test…

This paper, a continuation of the analysis of data collected on 455 Negro and white medical technicians (see ED 035 018) as part of a study on fairness in selection testing, investigates the prediction of supervisors' ratings from aptitude tests. (AG)
