The Faculty of Medicine at Monash University has decided to take personal qualities as appraised by semi-structured interviews into account alongside academic merit for selection of undergraduate students. To develop competence in these techniques the Faculty interviewed entrants, rather than applicants, in 1991 and 1992. Interviewing panels consist of three members--a member of the Faculty of Medicine, a member of the association of Monash Medical Graduates Inc. and an outside person who is not involved in medicine. The qualities appraised fall into four fields--quality of motivation, appropriateness of cognitive style, appropriateness of interpersonal style and communication skill. Interviewers are also asked to rate the overall suitability of the interviewee for medical studies and medical practice. A pilot study has also been run to explore the value of a psychometric test, the California Psychological Inventory (CPI), as another adjunct to the selection procedure. In this report interview ratings are analysed in relation to both prior scholastic results and scores obtained on the CPI. The study showed that the interview scores have little overlap with prior scholastic results. The associations between interview ratings and CPI scores were often highly significant from a statistical point of view and thus confirm through a different instrument that the interviews do meaningfully appraise personal attributes. However, the correlations are modest in terms of the amount of variance which is shared, suggesting that the CPI could be advantageously used as another component of our selection process.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
莫纳什大学医学院决定在选拔本科生时，将通过半结构化面试评估的个人素质与学术成绩一并纳入考量。为提高在这些面试技巧方面的能力，医学院于1991年和1992年对已入学的学生而非申请者进行了面试。面试小组由三名成员组成——一名医学院教员、一名莫纳什医学毕业生协会成员以及一名与医学无关的外部人员。所评估的素质分为四个领域——动机质量、认知风格的适宜性、人际风格的适宜性和沟通技巧。面试官还被要求对面试者从事医学学习和医疗实践的总体适宜性进行评分。此外，还开展了一项试点研究，以探索心理测评工具加利福尼亚心理调查表（CPI）作为选拔程序另一辅助手段的价值。在本报告中，面试评分将结合先前的学业成绩和CPI得分进行分析。研究表明，面试分数与先前的学业成绩几乎没有重叠。从统计学角度来看，面试评分与CPI得分之间的关联往往非常显著，因此通过另一种工具证实了面试确实能有意义地评估个人特质。然而，就共享的方差量而言，两者的相关性适中，这表明CPI可作为我们选拔过程的另一个有利组成部分。（摘要截选至250词）
