Abstract

47 high-achieving college students and 47 college dropouts were compared on the 24-item MMPI Underachievement Scale. The high achievers' mean score of 8.00 differed significantly ( p < .001) from the low achievers' mean score of 13.44. Probabilities of academic achievement level and score on the Underachievement Scale suggest that the scale may be useful in early detection of academic low achievement.
