Baker, Dale R.

Journal of Research in Science Teaching, v22 n2 p103-13 Feb 1985

Examined the relationship of attitude toward science, spatial ability, mathematical ability, and scientific personality (measured by the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator) on the achievement of eighth-grade students (N=98). One finding noted is that males and females with science grades of C or D had the most characteristics not associated with science. (Author/JN)
