This initial study phase deals with the accuracy of the information provided by students on the newly revised Student Descriptive Questionnaire (SDQ). The SDQ, an optional part of the College Board's Admissions Testing Program, is intended to supplement the information base to improve the quality of decisions made by college admissions personnel, guidance counselors, and program planners. The 1985-86 revision of the SDQ was assessed, which features 42 rather than 63 items, a change in item format, and a sharper focus on the academic aspects of student experiences and goals. Focus was on the veracity of student responses for certain limited, verifiable forms of information and the logical or internal consistency of responses between selected item pairs within the questionnaire. The study data were derived from 4,659 college freshmen who entered one of six universities in September of 1986. Missing-data analyses were conducted throughout the analysis of 11 item pairs. Results indicate that key items of student-reported information possess levels of accuracy that indicate the suitability of the new form for its intended purposes as well as its comparability with earlier versions of the SDQ and other student self-report questionnaires. Accuracy was particularly good in terms of grade point average, race/ethnicity and citizenship status, athletic activities, computer/math experience, and activities related to English as a second language. Eleven data tables and a chart of SDQ item contrasts for logical consistency are included. Three data tables and a list of SDQ and Financial Aid Form items are appended. (TJH)
