The Relationship between Clinical Judgments of Missionary Fitness and Subsequent Ratings of Actual Field Adjustment
The author examined 193 missionary candidates who applied to a foreign missionary board by scoring them on two major interest inventories, four adjustment personality tests, and a sentence completion test. On the basis of test scores each candidate was placed into one of four categories: (1) those r...

520 | |a The author examined 193 missionary candidates who applied to a foreign missionary board by scoring them on two major interest inventories, four adjustment personality tests, and a sentence completion test. On the basis of test scores each candidate was placed into one of four categories: (1) those recommended without reservation; (2) those recommended with minor reservations; (3) those recommended with semi-serious reservations; and (4) those recommended with serious reservations. The distribution of ratings was heavily skewed (i.e., only 11.9% fell into categories 1 and 4 together). Some years later these candidates, then in missionary service, were rated for overall adjustment to the field on a five-step scale (A, B, C, D, and F) by a field secretary of the board who was familiar with their respective records of service. These field adjustment ratings were also heavily skewed (less than ten per cent received ratings of D or F). Mean adjustment scores of the recommendees showed some differentiation at an acceptable confidence level. For this board's candidates and this examiner the test-based recommendations had some predictive validity, although the heavily skewed distributions of predictor and criterion scores almost certainly attenuated the predictive validity that was obtained. | ||
