THE two foregoing chapters dealt with the determination of the relationship between measurements and the criterion of vocational accomplishment. When significant relation- ships have been discovered either by inspection or by the statistical methods there described, the relative value of par- ticular scores in forecasting vocational success must be de- termined before practical use can be made of these findings. Two general types of procedure are available, one based on the study of group differences, the other on the establish- ment of correlation between measurements. PREDICTION BASED ON GROUP COMPARISON The groups to be compared are made up of the successful and the unsuccessful employees; or those who remain with the company and those who leave; those who learn quickly and those who take a longer time to acquire the necessary vocational skill; those who earn a promotion and those who do not; those who have few accidents and those who have many; those who sell more than their quota and those who sell less, and so forth. When two or more groups represent- ing different levels of vocational accomplishment are to be compared in terms of test scores, practical procedure de- mands a way of determining the score or scores which best differentiate the group or groups. A test score above which or below which the members of one group are represented in conspicuously greater propor- tion than the members of the other group, is called a critical Xn IQ0
