Relation of Student Continuation Rates with the Uchida-Kraepelin Psychodiagnostic Test

A 2-Year Follow-up Study

Abstract

In this study we examined the relationship between the results of the Uchida-Kraepelin psychodiagnostic method and student continuation, resit and drop-out rates. The subjects were 87 physical therapy department students of our college, average age 24.6 ± 6.2 years. We found a tendency approaching significance (p<0.1) between levels 1~3 and 4 and above of "Characteristics of Personality and Behaviour" for continuing students and those who resit or drop-out. Accordingly, we consider it will be necessary to continuously monitor the academic work of students with level 4 and above Uchida-Kraepelin test results as described above.
