Abstract
Data are provided on the concurrent and long-term predictive validity of the Amnions and Amnions Quick Test. The test, along with the General Aptitude Test Battery, Part J, and the Gates Reading Comprehension Test, was administered to a national sample of 2,213 male high school sophomores in 1960. The Quick Test correlated .66 with Part J of the General Aptitude Battery, and .63 with the Gates Test, and—for a subsample—.59 with the Scholastic Aptitude Test, taken in 1969. Follow-up surveys through 1974 provide validating criteria, including educational and occupational attainments. The Quick Test is shown to be a valid measure of intellectual ability in that scores obtained in Grade 10 correlated .41 with a measure of educational attainment obtained 8 yr. later. The Quick Test's relationships with the other measures of ability are discussed.
