- Summary:
-
A second follow-up of students in five cities in 1947 who had taken the Differential Aptitude Tests is reported. Questionnaires were sent out to 2,386 individuals, and replies were received from 1,430. Their Differential Aptitude Test scores were converted to standard scores with a mean of 50 and a standard deviation of 10, based upon the original population of 2,900. The results are shown in tables. Table 1 shows the percentiles equivalent to the mean scores in relation to subsequent education; Table 2 shows the results by type of education for persons attaining college degrees; and Table 3 reports percentiles for those occupations listed by 20 or more persons and for three groups not currently employed. Overlap among contrasting groups--groups differing in subsequent education or in level of later occupation--is illustrated in two figures. The results of the second follow-up show that the characteristics of high school students, measured by the Differential Aptitude Tests, bear important relations to their subsequent careers, as reported eight years later.
