According to my references the Binet-Simon 1905 was credited as being the
first "modern" test designed to predict performance. 1916 Stanford-Binet,
David Meltzer has shown that some math tests have some predictive value, but
again individual student effort and attitudes can have a big effect. VASS
is measuring attitude, while the Lawson test is measuring thinking skills.
My data seems to show that the Lawson test puts a very strong limit on
achieving gain on some of the conceptual tests. While a good attitude can
push the student to achieve the limit, it seems that they can not achieve
more within the parameters of my course.
