Specificity of over- and under-achievement in college courses

Abstract

As far as engineering students are concerned and undoubtedly for other, industriousness in any one of the four subjects—English, chemistry, mathematics, and physics—does not necessarily imply industriousness in any of the remaining three. As far as specificity is concerned, work habits of industriousness are very similar to the social habits of honesty, truthfulness, and morality which were investigated by Hartshorne and May.
