The Wisconsin Model of Status Attainment: A National Replication with Improved Measures of Ability and Aspiration
Abstract
A 1972 follow-up of eleventh graders surveyed by Project Talent in /960 yields results broadly similar to those reported by Sewell and Hauserfor their Wisconsinfollow-up and by Alexander, Eckland and Griffin for their EEO follow-up, suggesting that neither the geographic and educational restrictions of the Wisconsin survey nor the low response rate of the EEO systematically biases their conclusions. The Talent data also provide more detailed information on teenagers' cognitive skills and educational aspirations than the Wisconsin and EEO surveys. The Talent data show that (1) conventional academic aptitude tests predict later success less accurately than academic achievement tests administered at the same time, (2) detailed measures of educational plans beyond high school predict later behavior more acc-urately than questions that merely ask high school students whether they plan to attend college and (3) measures of how much money high school students hope or expect to earn have a very weak relationship to actual earnings.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
