This study compared the subtests and summary scores of the Shipley Institute of Living Scale with that of a modified version of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale—Revised (WAIS—R) in predicting college grades for 34 men and 42 women. None of the Shipley or WAIS—R scores correlated significantly with GPA and no combination of scores served as predictors of GPA. The implications of the results and limitations of the study were discussed.
