A taxonomy of: (1) knowledges, (2) attitudes, (3) activities, and (4) status characteristics and research efforts to develop and validate objective measures of vocational maturity variables are suggested. (MU)

It was concluded that prediction of success in remedial mathematics courses can be made correctly 71 percent of the time using five select predictors: high school average, mathematics test score, attitude toward mathematics score, sentence test score, and mathematics interest score. (Author)

Purpose of this study was to determine whether auditory perception, visual perception or chronological age is a better predictor of the control of nonverbal behavior by means of verbal instructions. (Author)

Article reports a follow-up study of 434 MBA's five years after graduation. (MB)

Four commonly employed procedures were repeatedly applied to computer-simulated samples to provide comparative data pertaining to two questions: (a) which procedure can be expected to produce and equation that yields the most accurate predictions for the population, and (b) which procedure is most likely to identify the optimal set of independent…

Personality patterns did not improve prediction from aptitude and achievement variables in the weight determination sample and in cross-validation actually cancelled out predictability from traditional measures. Prediction of college grades from high school grades and aptitude tests was, on the other hand. both accurate and consistent. (Author)
