Key:
SA = Supervised Access form
IA = Invited Access form
*Dimension validity is the correlation between a single Professional Styles scale dimension (weighted combination of ipsative and normative scores) with the matched work performance criterion. Total sample matched is N=556-658 (sample size varied due to no evidence option on criterion ratings).
**Cross validated is the correlation of the composite regression equation from initial sample on hold out sample based on a hold out sample of n=252-316.
All validities corrected for attenuation based on the reliability of the criteria (based on 236 pairs of criterion ratings). No further corrections were applied (e.g. restriction of range, predictor unreliability).
The composite validity of each of the two Professional Styles forms in relation to overall job proficiency is 0.34 and 0.42 (n=325). The composite validity of each of the two Professional Styles forms in establishing external ratings of potential for promotion is 0.54 and 0.64 (n=324).
