An illustration of using multiple discriminant analysis and nonintellective data in predicting graduation, withdrawal and failure in a college of liberal arts. The nonintellective factors are qualitative content categories derived from candidates' personal application statements. Procedures are described for comparing the effectiveness of the nonintellective data with that of intellective data in differentiating among the three criterion groups and on accuracy of predicted group membership.
