Abstract

Three multiple-abilities batteries—the Comprehensive Ability Battery (CAB), Differential Aptitude Tests (DAT), and General Aptitude Test Battery (GATB)—are briefly discussed, and results of a study involving cross-correlations of the tests in these batteries are presented. The measures included are 11 of the 20 CAB tests, plus two simple composite measures, all eight of the DAT tests, plus two composites, and seven of the eight paper-and-pencil tests of the GATB, plus the GATB general composite measure. The results are based on one sample of males and one of females from predominantly middle and upper-middle class homes in a large city. In addition to between-battery correlations involving tests and composites, criterion-related validity results are also given with year-end course grades as criteria and with the various composite measures as predictors.
