PREDICTION OF JOB SUCCESS FOR HOSPITAL AIDES AND ORDERLIES FROM MMPI SCORES AND PERSONAL HISTORY DATA

Employed 13 individual performance measures and weighted composite criterion for each job. Ss were 37 aides and 23 orderlies for each job. All but 1 of the 10 basic MMPI scales and 10 of 13 biographical predictors showed small correlations with at least 1 of the individual criterion measures. Corrected multiple Rs of .48 were obtained between each weighted composite criterion and combined test and biographical predictors. The biographical data proved relatively more useful in this prediction. Factor analyses of individual criterion measures yielded similar factor structures for both jobs.
