Psychological tests in the selection of enrollees in engineering, science, management, defense training courses

Abstract

Grades earned by students in ESMDT courses at North Carolina State College were correlated with certain psychological test scores for groups of subjects varying in number from 19 to 63. Zero-order coefficients varied from .008 to .819. Multiple r 's ranged from .354 to .831. "The data presented, while limited by the small number of enrollees in each course, suggest the possibility of effectively using psychological tests in selection and placement of enrollees in Engineering, Science, Management, Defense Training Courses."
