Examined the utility of the WAIS OA, BD, PIQ and FSIQ scores in combination with age, apparent degiee of emotional severity and psychiatric disability in predicting the vocational success of 180 psychiatric outpatients. Although no significant statistical differences were obtained in a cros-Validation procedure indicating that psychiatric disability affected the efficacy of the derived regression equations, substantial differences in predictable variance accounted for were found to be related to the nature of the psychiatric disability. This must be attended to in attempts to predict the vocational success of psychiatric outpatients.
