Although in general the correlations are modest two points are worthy of note. First the projective-report variables correlating highest with staff predictions also correlate highest with management progress (i.e., the salary index). Second, motivational variables (e.g.. achievement motivation, willingness to accept a leadership role) are related more closely to management progress than are more adjustment-oriented variables (e.g., optimism, general adjustment). In sum, these results suggest that projective techniques may yield useful predictions when they are interpreted according to motivations relevant to management (Grant et al., 1967).
