The use of computer techniques to evaluate data in
an attempt to find useful predictors of various
criteria is of continuing interest. The use of
stepwise pattern analysis to select predictors has
shown premising results. This paper presents a
refinement of this technique called TPAN, which allows
the items selected to be "tailored" tc the various
patterns by the previously selected items. This is
followed ty a discussion of the results obtained using
TPAN tc select a four-item pattern, from the responses
to an advancement examination, that best predicts
performance on the General Classification Test.
