AB - AbstractAttempts to predict college academic performance consistently have been only moderately successful. Traditional approaches to the problem have utilized intellective predictor variables. The explained variance using these variables has reached an asymptote of approximately 25 percent. In the present study, a testing instrument is utilized to assess several non-intellective variables. With a sample of 303 Ss a step-wise multiple regression analysis produces a R = .67 for a variance explained of 45 percent when utilizing three n Ach measures in conjunction with high school grades and sex for the criterion of college first-term GPA. Future use for selection purposes of non-intellective factors is discussed and the plan for a longitudinal follow-up of the present study is presented.
