| Abstract: | To devise an instrument based on biographical data to classify applicants for State vocational rehabilitation services in terms of success and to construct expectancy charts to indicate probability of success of future applicants. The Ss were 200 clients closed in fiscal year 1960 as being employed and 200 closed in fiscal year 1960 as being unemployed, as well as 40 in each category closed during fiscal year 1961. 86 items of personal data were obtained for key K1 and 20 selected items were obtained for key K2. Results were: variance between criterion subgroups could be maximized for classification, scores could be derived to classify clients, scores could be combined to establish expectancy charts, and K2 predicted expectancies better than K1.
