Utilized a set of noncognitive variables, as measured by the Noncognitive Questionnaire (NCQ), to predict the grade point average (GPA) and retention of specially admitted college students. Results indicated the NCQ can predict the GPA and retention status of these students. Successful leadership and positive self-concept were the most useful variables. (Author/BL)
