Pre-university Measures and University Performance
This study investigated the relationship between three pre-university measures (high school grade point average, the General Aptitude Test, and the scholastic achievement admission test) and university performance as indicted by (preparatory year and cumulative university grade point average, and graduation). Data from 330,684 undergraduate students from 23 universities across the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia were analyzed using a multilevel structura…
Does religious morality predict party affiliation better than political ideology? An empirical approach using psycho-social metrics constructed through item response modeling
In the current era of more extreme political and religious views coming into the mainstream, this paper investigates whether party affiliation is associated with the concept of religious morality more than political ideology.

Data-Driven Identification of Skills for the Future
The world is rapidly changing, and the systemic shifts have the potential to affect the nature of work. To prepare the workforce, it is crucial to develop the skills that will be necessary for the unpredictable landscape of the future. Before these skills can be developed, however, they have to be identified and quantified through some form of valuation. It is important that the approach to skills valuation is empirically defensible. This article…
Gender differences in variance and means on the Naglieri Non‐verbal Ability Test

Aims. This article presents results on gender differences in variance and means on a non‐verbal intelligence test using a national sample of public school students from the Philippines. Sample. More than 2,700 sixth graders from public schools across …
