Abstract: | The relations of abilities, as measured by Thurstone'sTests for Primary Mental Abilities, to activity preferences, as measured by Kuder'sPreference Record, are investigated for a population of 512 university freshmen. Ability profiles for contrasted groups on each preference scale reveal relatively slight overlapping between the two sets of measures, although the apparent trends are reasonable. The Pearson inter-correlation coefficients of all pairs of measures involved were determined. Implications of the findings in relation to theory and to educational and vocational guidance are indicated. |
