“…Henmon-Nelson raw scores have been shown to correlated strongly with standard intelligence measures, such as WAIS Full Scale IQ scores (Watson et al, 1992; Watson et al, 1981). Participants completed this test during high school, and scores were obtained from the Wisconsin State Testing Service.…”

Various psychological assets have been shown to protect against late-life cognitive impairment by promoting cognitive reserve. While factors such as educational attainment and IQ are well-established contributors to cognitive reserve, non-cognitive factors, such as grit, have not been studied in this regard. We examined the contribution of adolescent grit, indexed by high school class rank controlling for IQ, to late-life cognition and its decline among approximately 4,000 participants in the Wisconsin Longitudinal Study, a random sample of high school graduates followed from 1957 to 2011. Adolescent grit significantly predicted both immediate and delayed memory at ages 64 and 71, over and above the contribution of IQ. While the relative contributions of IQ and grit to immediate memory were comparable, grit was a stronger predictor of delayed memory. Cognitive reserve has non-cognitive, as well as cognitive, components.

“…Inductive ability was inferred from scores on the 20-item Abstraction subtest. The SILS is a commonly used, easily administered intelligence test (Watson et al, 1992) that correlates favorably with Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revised subscales (range = .68-.90; Zachary, 1986).…”

In 4 experiments, the relationships among critical reasoning, personal goals, general intellectual ability, and information-processing style were explored. Three critical reasoning competencies were investigated: the law of large numbers, the intuitive analysis of covariance, and the ability to detect flaws in experimental designs. Participants were presented problems that involved goal-enhancing, goal-neutral, and goal-threatening evidence. There were 2 main findings: (a) Although general ability predicted 2 components of critical reasoning, biases in reasoning were better predicted by information processing style (i.e., rational vs. intuitive), (b) Reasoning on the goal-enhancing and neutral problems was less sophisticated than reasoning on threatening problems. Depth of processing seems to be a primary mechanism underlying motivated reasoning. In addition, information processing style is an individual difference variable that moderates the extent of reasoning biases. Similar results were obtained across different forms of critical thinking.

“…SILS has been used for more than 50 years to assess facets of intelligence and to establish its reliability and validity (Zachary, 1991). Several research studies provided support for SILS’ validity as a brief measure of intelligence (Martin, Blair, & Bledsoe, 1990; Watson et al, 1992). Research has also found that performance on the Shipley is significantly correlated with performance on the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale–Revised (Weiss & Schell, 1991; Zachary, Paulson, & Gorsuch, 1985).…”

Youth are the future of a country and their workplace skills are vital for a society's growth and development. Unattached youth, neither at school nor at employment, pose a great challenge to the society. This study examines the impact of certain factors on unattached youth workplace skill development. Using a group of 322 unattached Jamaican youth who were recruited by the Jamaican National Youth Service, this study investigates certain individual differences such as five personality factors (openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism), cognitive ability, and gender's impact on workplace skills development among this group of Jamaican unattached youth using the multilevel modeling (MLM) analysis. The findings indicated that certain individual characteristics such as neuroticism and agreeableness have significant impact on their workplace skills development. Based on these results, career counseling and development should be considered to help unattached youth to develop their workplace skills to reach their potential.
