some ASVAB and Project A predictors were significant due to Type
I errors. Although most of the Project A tests were significant
far more often than the chance level (cf. the middle column of
Table 4), the lack of opportunities at this point for crossvalidation
renders the results reported in this paper exploratory
and suggestive only.
The Longitudinal Validation of Project A, which began in
1986/87, will provide more definitive answers to the research
questions involved in these analyses. Based upon the preliminary
results reported here, we are optimistic about the findings of
the Longitudinal Validation.
