Nonverbal Communication Tests as Predictors of Success in Psychology and Counseling

Samuel A. Livingston

Educational Testing Service

Six tests of nonverbal communication skills were investigated in an attempt to improve prediction of success for psychologists and counselors. The sub jects were graduate students at two different schools; the criterion variables were faculty mem bers' judgments of the students' academic work, in terpersonal relations, personal characteristics, and "predicted effectiveness" in the profession. Faculty ratings were collected several months after students were tested. One of the six nonverbal communication tests predicted faculty ratings of several characteris tics at both schools. This test was uncorrelated with the Graduate Record Examinations and only weak ly correlated with the Group Embedded Figures Test, as were most of the other nonverbal com munication tests.
