On the Testing of Tests: A Longitudinal Study.

Strobel, Michael G.; Dudek, Stephanie Z.

Fifty-eight middle class children were tested over 6 years with 25 achievement, I.Q., and personality tests. Consistency of test results were evaluated by a variance comparison method and a simple signal detection model. Both methods lead to the conclusion that achievement tests are far better predictors than personality tests with I.Q. scales placing in between. (Author)
