The interrelationship of Area Test scores and Cooperative General Culture Test scores

The Area Tests (Form I) were administered in 1955 to a senior class of 269 students at DePauw University. Of these students, 231 were administered the Cooperative General Culture Test in 1953. Product-moment correlations were calculated for scores of each of subtests of Cooperative General Test and corresponding area of Area Tests. The coefficients of interrelationship secured for above mentioned tests were relatively high. Since Area Tests and Cooperative General Culture Tests were devised for somewhat different purposes, these findings suggest additional investigations of distinctiveness of these 2 instruments.
