Correlations between the Otis Quick Scoring Mental Ability Test, Beta, the 1960 S-B, and the WISC on 102 fourth to tenth grade children were presented. Level of intelligence was found to produce significant discrepancies above the average level on all three tests. It would appear to be unwke to rely on the Otis for selection of children of superior intelligence.

Comparability of results from the Micko and Stone-Coles approaches to judgmental data is discussed.

First and second admission MMPI records of 55 male psychiatric patients were examined in order to determine the test-retest stabilities for the popular MMPI scales. Over half of the stability coefficients were above .60. No significant differences were observed between test and retest MMPI scale means.

Members of a MEDEX training staff (N = 13) estimated the similarity of 16 medical occupations-professions (including the MEDEX concept). Evaluative dimensions utilized by these judges to form their judgments of scale similarity were extracted using a recently proposed multidimensional scaling method-model. Five judgmental factor-dimensions were identified (tentative labels: I. Amount of training—degree of responsibility—prestige; II. Therapist; III. Nurse; IV. Technician; and V. Hospital nursing staff authority) which accounted for up to 86% of the variance of the averaged similarity estimates. These factor-dimensions as well as the methodology employed were discussed. Future research was suggested.
