Abstract
For 225 undergraduates, scores on an untimed experimental short form o f the Wonderlic Personnel Test were correlated .285 with grades. Three -week predictive validity against the Wonderlic test was .545 (n = 86) . Three-week test-retest and alternate-form reliabilities for the shor t form were .658 and .722 (ns = 86, 85), respectively. The untimed sho rt form is not judged to be superior to the original Wonderlic test in an academic setting.
