S ummary . Three studies of prediction of academic achievement in introductory psychology courses are reported. The Achiever Personality scale of Fricke's Opinion, Attitude and Interest Survey and Brown and Holtzman's Survey of Study Habits and Attitudes made independent contributions beyond intelligence in the prediction of course grades in two studies. In a third study the Achievement via Independence scale of Gough's California Psychological Inventory was found to contribute to grade prediction.
