Tech Tilt Predicts Jobs, College Majors, and Specific Abilities: Support for Investment Theories Intelligence 75 (July-August 2019): 33-40. Also: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0160289618302587 Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: Elsevier Keyword(s): Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB); Cognitive Ability; College Major/Field of Study/Courses; STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics); Test Scores/Test theory/IRT Specific cognitive abilities include ability tilt, based on within-subject differences in math and verbal scores on standardized tests (e.g., SAT, ACT). Ability tilt yields math tilt (math > verbal), which predicts STEM (science, technology, engineering, math) criteria, and verbal tilt (verbal > math), which predicts humanities criteria. The current study examined a new type of tilt: tech tilt, based on within-subject differences in technical scores and academic scores (math or verbal) on the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery. (Technical scores tapped vocational skills for electronics, mechanics, cars, and tools.) |
