Predicting vocational success for neuropsychiatric patients with the Edwards Personal Preference Schedule

Abstract

Investigated the possibility of predicting success-fail vocational outcome from a personality inventory. The EPPS was administered to a group of 58 psychiatric patients at the time of acceptance to a vocational rehabilitation ward. Score areas of the EPPS utilized in the predictive model varied with the diagnostic categories. The results show that model predictions above the base rate of success are possible for all of the diagnostic groups and that predictive accuracy increases when results are specifically related to particular groups.
