Predictive Validity of Two Medical Specialty Preference Inventories.

Savickas, Mark L.; And Others

Measurement and Evaluation in Counseling and Development, v21 n3 p106-12 Oct 1988

Examined predictive validity of Medical Specialty Preference Scales (MSPS) and Medical Specialty Preference Inventory (MSPI). Administered MSPS to 71 medical students and MSPI to 73 medical students. Findings indicated that MSPI predicted accurately three times more than did MSPS. Based on predictive validity and teaching possibilities, MSPI seems more useful that MSPS for counseling medical students about specialty choice. (NB)
