Abstract
This study investigates the adequacy of predicting differential value systems of college students from their American College Test (ACT) scores. Sixty male college Ss were divided into two groups based on ACT scores: a.) high English-low math group, and b.) high math-low English group. The Allport-Vernon-Lindzey Study of Values, which measures six dominant values in personality, was administered to each of the two groups. Comparison of mean scores on each scale indicated that only the Theoretical scale distinguished between the two groups, scores for Group II being higher than scores for Group I. Stepwise discriminant analysis indicated, however, that scores on the Theoretical scale were highest for Group II, whereas scores on the Political and Social scales were highest for Group I. The Religious, Economic, and Aesthetic scales were not significantly different in the two groups.
