PREDICTION OF ACCOMPLISHMENT IN COLLEGE - A STUDY OF ACHIEVEMENT

Predicted the academic and nonacademic achievements of a large number of undergraduates from an assessment of their aptitudes, potentials, originality, self-ratings, life goals, personalities, interests, and backgrounds. The results of multiple correlations between predictors and criteria were cross-validated in a 2nd sample. The patterns of variables which appeared in the results suggested some conclusions about the prediction of achievement. (30 ref.)
