Nathan R. Kuncel
Psychology
My research is focused on two related areas. The first is understanding the characteristics of people that contribute to their performance at school and work. These characteristics or individual differences span intellective, interest, experience, prior performance and personality characteristics. My most visable research in this area has examined the efficacy of standardized tests including the GRE, GMAT, MAT, and SAT. The second half is research that attempts to model and measure academic and occupational performance. My goal is to more fully evaulate performance in these domains and move beyond the grade, income, and status measures that are typically used.
