Project MINI-SCORE Final Report.
Nelson, Howard F.
As an overview of a 6-year federally funded state program, Project MINI-SCORE's final report is intended to provide guidance personnel in Minnesota with occupational data useful for counseling high school students. Over 17,500 applicants to the full-time day programs offered in 24 Minnesota Area Vocational-Technical Schools were tested with a battery of five standardized vocational, personality, and aptitude tests and a personal data sheet in order to determine significant individual differences among those who are accepted into these schools, begin related employment, and achieve successful vocational adjustment, and those who do not. From these data bases, three instruments proved most useful for predicting success for vocational students: (1) the Minnesota Vocational Interest Inventory, (2) the Sixteen Personality Factor Questionnaire, and (3) the Minnesota Importance Questionnaire. Other success criteria were inconsistent, although the existence of significant differences among male and female groups and those successful in different occupations was documented from pre-enrollment test data. Numerous tables present the data. Supplementing this document are five comprehensive explanations of all statistical analyses, previously announced as ED 064 521-ED 064 525 and titled "Project MINI-SCORE Final Technical Reports."
