This study is part of a trend of examining noncognitive predictors, for example, a situational judgment test (SJT), as supplements to cognitive predictors for making college admission decisions. The authors examined criterion data over multiple academic years and universities. The criterion domain was broadly conceptualized, including both cognitive and interpersonal domains. The sample consisted of 7,197 candidates of the Medical and Dental Studies Admission Exam in Belgium. Results confirmed the importance of cognitive predictors. A video-based SJT was differentially valid for predicting overall grade point average for different curricula. The SJT showed incremental validity over cognitively oriented measures for curricula that included interpersonal courses, but not for other curricula. The SJT became more valid through the years. This demonstrates the importance of carefully specifying predictor- criterion linkages and of differentiating both predictor and criterion constructs.
本研究是将非认知预测因素（例如情境判断测试[SJT]）作为认知预测因素的补充以用于大学录取决策这一研究趋势的一部分。作者考察了多个学年和多所大学的标准数据。标准领域被宽泛地概念化，包括认知和人际领域。样本由比利时医学和牙科学入学考试的7197名考生组成。结果证实了认知预测因素的重要性。基于视频的SJT在预测不同课程的总体平均绩点方面具有差异效度。对于包含人际课程的课程，SJT在预测总体平均绩点方面相对于认知取向的测量方法具有增量效度，但对其他课程则不然。多年来，SJT的效度不断提高。这表明了仔细明确预测因素与标准之间的联系以及区分预测因素和标准结构的重要性。
