dc.description.abstract	The evidence in favour of predicting managerial success from intelligence tests is mixed. It is difficult to support the predicability of intelligence tests for occupational success (Thornton & Byham, 1982). After reviewing the evidence, Thornton & Byham reluctantly recommend the use of intelligence tests only for the selection of first-level supervisors ( p. 158 ). McClelland in his article begins with provocative remarks, such as, we blindly promote "the use of tests as instruments of power over the lives of many Americans" (P.1). He concludes that education or school grades are unrelated to vocational success in a wide variety of jobs. McClelland recommends that generalized competencies should be delineated by focusing directly on the thought patterns which are required for the manager's roles.	en
