Examines the relationships between admission criteria, graduate school performance, and professional success among masters level psychology graduate students. Although several variables were significantly related to professional success, correlations with admission criteria and graduate school performance were relatively small. (Author/AV)

Results indicate that the Rorschach Inkblots were a satisfactory…

Many graduate students receiving stipends for research or teaching are being audited by the Internal Revenue Service. The situation is puzzling and angering administrators because the stipends have previously been considered tax-exempt. (MSE)
