Abstract
This study compared the subtests and summary scores of the Shipley Ins titute of Living Scale with that of a modified version of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revised (WAIS-R) in predicting college grade s for 34 men and 42 women. None of the Shipley or WAIS-R scores correl ated significantly with GPA and no combination of scores served as pre dictors of GPA. The implications of the results and limitations of the study were discussed.
