Use of the General Aptitude Test Battery to determine aptitude changes with age and to predict job performance

Abstract

"It was found that Aptitudes G, V, N, and S were related to age in a curvilinear manner." 400 Ss were divided into 4 age groups. Aptitudes and supervisory ratings were plotted against age. "… only Aptitude K contributed significantly to predicting the variance in the criterion." (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved)
