Haggerty 1918¶

Haggerty, M. E. (1918). Tests of applicants for admission to University of Minnesota Medical School. Journal of Educational Psychology, 9(5), 278–286. https://doi.org/10.1037/h0071405

q3 · i? · associational · r1

Correlational analysis of 93 tested applicants, of whom 69 entered; 50 full-work students (24 with fifteen credits, 26 with fourteen) supplied medical marks. The article reports the combined-measure correlations as printed: ".65 for the group of 50, .81 for the fifteen-credit cases and .69 for the 14 credit cases."

"the correlation of these combined measures with the marks subsequently made by these students is .65 for the group of 50, .81 for the fifteen-credit cases and .69 for the 14 credit cases. Either of these tests alone gives a slightly lower but still substantial correlation. In no case is it less than' .56."
