Prediction of College Graduation Using Noncognitive Variables by Race.

Tracey, Terence J.; Sedlacek, William E.

Measurement and Evaluation in Counseling and Development, v19 n4 p177-84 Jan 1987

In 1979 and 1980, college freshmen (N=1766) completed the Noncognitive Questionnaire (NCQ). The validity of the NCQ in predicting graduation status after five and six years was assessed for Black and White students. Results indicated that the noncognitive dimensions measured by the NCQ were significantly related to graduation but the traditional measures of academic ability were not. (NB)
