A six-year follow-up study of graduate students in public health education.

Using the predictors available from a study of academic success, how well can future occupational success be predicted? 19 students reported in the Barthol and Kirk study (see 31: 6666) were used as Ss here. The predictors included standardized tests such as the SVIB, MMPI, Concept Mastery Test plus academic rankings. The criterion of job success was psychologists rankings based on a study of work records of the Ss. Although those with the best preparation and MMPI profiles did the best on the ratings for vocational success. Ratings of 3 faculty judges of the academic success of the Ss predicted vocational success most accurately. From Psyc Abstracts 36:04:4LB40G.
