Abstract

The Conditional Reasoning Test-Relative Motive Strength (CRT-RMS; James, 1998) has been shown to be a psychometrically reliable and valid approach for measuring motives and biases. The use of this measurement system has yielded significant associations with college student achievement in the US and European contexts, with a magnitude of association which has not been demonstrated with self-report personality tests. This study demonstrates how the utility of the CRT-RMS generalizes to college student samples in Korea based on its association with GPA and its discriminant pattern of associations with self-report measures.
