An already developed multiple-regression model for predicting success of Medex trainees in their training program was cross-validated using a new group of Medex trainees. Six psychological test predictor variables (2 on the MMPI and 4 on the Strong) “held up” upon cross-validation. The results lent credence to the use of multidimensional judgment scaling for establishment of a personnel evaluation-grading criterion measure.
