摘要：Using as criteria ranking of the students on academic performance by 3 faculty judges, and of those who subsequently graduated on field performance, the validity of the SVIB, MMPI, Concept Mastery Test, and the American Public Health Association Examination for selecting graduate students for a public health education curriculum was studied. Only the APHA Examination, an achievement test, ranked the students in approximate order of later success, although the others gave evidence of usefulness...

摘要：The development of the Activity Experience Inventory, a measure of manifest interest (interest expressed by actual participation in relevant activity) is described. The items were scored using the interest areas of the Kuder Preference Record, Form BB. Validity coefficients (against an Experience Data Blank) varied from .27 to .82, median .39. Experience patterns for boys and girls differed in the expected directions. Reliability coefficients are reported. Tentative norms, separate for males a...

摘要：Test performance of 215 passing medical students was compared with that of 29 drop-outs because of scholastic failure. Mean score differences were computed for 9 measures, including high school rank, 2 honor-point ratio (grade) measures, ACE, Coop English Test, Medical College Admission Test, Minn. Medical Aptitude Test, SVIB, MMPI. Successful students make significantly higher pre-med course grades, Minn. Medical Aptitude Test scores, ACE scores, and lower scores on the L-scale of the MMPI.

摘要：Operator efficiency in a key-pressing task was studied as a function of the positioning of the stimulus panel and response keyboard. Self-and automatic-pacing modes of presentation were used with the nine panel-keyboard combinations. Response time, error index, and latency (for automatic pacing only) measures were collected. No significant error differences were observed, but for each time measure the different treatments differed significantly. Location of the response keyboard was generally ...

摘要：It is pointed out that in the theoretical distribution of time intervals between consecutive accidents, short time intervals are much more frequent than long ones. An excess of short time intervals over long intervals between accidents is not itself, therefore, evidence of accident proneness. It must be shown that the excess is greater than that by the theoretical distribution.

摘要：A measure of understandability is proposed as a supplement to reading ease measures such as the Flesch. In one application 9 sets of standard psychological test directions for which Reading Ease scores were computed, were rated by groups of Navy Aviation Cadets. It would appear that RE scores and understandability ratings were not measuring the same thing.

摘要：Twelve Ss practiced a knob-turning control panel task while blindfolded and another 12 without blindfolds. A final set of trials was run in which the visual conditions were reversed for the Ss. Time of travel (hand movement) to reach the knobs, and time of manipulation, were recorded electronically. For both components, the non-blindfold group did better; practice did not compensate for loss of vision.

摘要：The undecided response in attitude inventory items may be selected because of actual neutrality, item ambiguity, lack of information, Antagonism to the test procedure, or a need to straddle. The major determiners are probably actual neutrality, fence-straddling attitudes, or lack of information.
