Selection Tests for Trainee Conference Interpreters
This preliminary study devised and tested a series of psychometric tests to facilitate selection of simultaneous and consecutive interpreter-trainee candidates. Twelve tests, based either on text materials, linguistic subskills or speed-stress, were correlated with judges' ratings of the final interpretation examination. Students who passed the exam had higher mean scores on all tests than those who failed. Test scores were positively inter-corre…
Selecting trainee conference interpreters
This study developed and assessed a set of psychometric tests to aid selection of candidate simultaneous and consecutive interpreter trainees. Three kinds of test were used based either on text materials, linguistic subskills or speed stress Twelve tests in all were administered to 29 trainees beginning an intensive course.

These responses were rated by 11 graduate clinical psychology students on 15 four point scales based mainly on adjectives used in the psychiatric literature to describe " schizophreni…

Multiple Regression Equations for Predicting Reading Age From Chronological Age and Wisc Verbal I.Q
S ummary . To assist clinical and educational psychologists in comparing a child's reading attainment on the Schonell Graded Word Reading Test (GWRT) with that expected from one of his age and I.Q., three multiple regression equations are presented. These enable the psychologist to predict Reading Age on Schonell's GWRT from a given chronological age and WISC Verbal I.Q. The equations were calculated from data relating to 500 children tested at t…
