Toefl Performance and Success in a Masters Program in Engineering
Scores on the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL), achieved by 67 Asian graduate students seeking the Master of Science in engineering, were examined in relationship to scores on the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) and success in completing their program of study as measured by final grade point average. Significant correlations (p
Validity of the American College Test in Predicting Success on the Pre-Professional Skills Test
Scores derived from Pre-Professional Skills Test (PPST) are being widely used for screening students into teacher education programs. The purpose of this study was to examine the validity of the American College Test (ACT) in predicting success on the PPST. Significant correlations (p
Predictive Validity of the Test of English as a Foreign Language for Asian Graduate Students in Engineering, Chemistry, or Mathematics
The validity of the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) was examined in relation to prediction of success of 50 Asian students who had completed master's programs in engineering, chemistry, or mathematics. A significant correlation (r = .40, p
Another Examination of Authoritarianism and College Major
Stern, Stein, and Bloom (1956) have suggested that individuals exhibiting authoritarian tendencies would demonstrate preference for college majors in non-abstract, practical areas such as engineering, business, and law and non-authoritarian individuals would prefer abstract majors such as the humanities and social sciences. Previous research (Greenberg & Fare, 1959; Martoccia, 1964; Hanson. 1967) has generally supported the hypothesis. To test th…
Relationship of Selected Variables to Success in a Teacher Preparation Program
Subjects (N = 603) were graduates of a four year teacher preparation program who had completed the American College Test prior to admission to the University, the Mooney Problem Check-list, Kuder Preference Record Vocational and Personal, and Survey of Study Habits and Attitudes as freshmen, and the National Teacher Examinations (NTE) as seniors. Overall Quality Point Average (QPA) and hours of credit and QPAs earned in various subject matter are…

A Study of the Validity of the Sixteen Personality Factor Questionnaire in Predicting High School Academic Achievement
THE part that personality plays in predicting academic achievement is a major concern in the study of adolescents. Overall high school achievement and achievement in science and mathematics are of particular interest. Cattell and Eber (1964) reported an equation for predicting school grades based on certain personality factors and Butcher and Gorsuch (IPAT, 1962) reported an equation to predict school achievement, based on the High School Persona…
