The comparative validity of two biographical inventory keys

Abstract

The predictability of ACE scores, high school average grades and a math test, combined with a biography inventory, was tested against average grades for the 3 quarters of the freshman year at Emory University. A deviate and an external scoring key were compared. Over 500 hundred Ss for one year were compared with a similar number for another. Both keys yielded an improvement in predictability when the biographical inventory was included. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved)
