PREDICTING TRAINING SUCCESS: NOT MUCH MORE THAN g
研究了通用能力（g）和特定能力在预测空军新兵培训学校成绩中的作用，发现特定能力对预测的贡献很小，通用能力几乎能解释所有预测力。
The roles of general ability ( g ) and specific abilities ( s 1 … s g ) were investigated in prediction of job‐training‐school grades. Subjects were 78,041 Air Force enlistees in 82 jobs. General ability and specific abilities were defined by scores on the first and subsequent unrotated principal components of the enlistment selection and classification test, the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery. Linear models analyses revealed that s 1 … s 9 added little to the prediction afforded by g. It was also determined that a common prediction equation for all jobs was almost as predictive as an equation for each job.
