- Summary:
-
To evaluate the predictive validity of the act tests and the non-academic achievement scales of the student profile section, at 14 2-year and 21 4-year colleges students who had completed the act battery prior to admission were surveyed for their academic and non-academic accomplishments during their freshman year. Criteria included college grades, 12 scales designed to measure notable extra-classroom accomplishment in college, and one scale to assess recognition for academic accomplishment. Predictors included scores on act tests, high school grades, and the six scales measuring non-academic accomplishment in high school. The results, which support the authors' earlier findings, indicate that non-academic accomplishment can be assessed with moderate reliability, that both academic and non-academic achievement can be predicted to a useful degree, and that non-academic accomplishment is largely independent of academic potential and achievement.
