Another widely administered test for college admission is the American College Test (ACT) . Using the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979, measures of g were derived from the ASVAB and correlated with ACT scores for 1075 participants. The resulting correlation was .77. The ACT also shows significant correlations with the SAT and several standard IQ tests. A more recent sample (N=149) consisting of ACT scores and the Raven's APM shows a correlation of .61 between Raven'sderived IQ scores and Composite ACT scores. It appears that ACT scores can be used to accurately predict IQ in the general population.  \n© 2007 Elsevier Inc.

One of the most widely used tests is the American College Test (ACT) . The ACT is accepted by colleges throughout the United States and is administered to over 1 million students annually. Designed in 1959 as an alternative to the SAT, the ACT purports to closely parallel highschool curriculum and to measure the preparedness of the test-taker for more advanced education. According to the ACT web site: “The ACT is curriculum-based. The ACT is not an aptitude or an IQ test”(Facts about the ACT) . Frey and Detterman (2004) showed that the SAT was correlated with measures of general intelligence .82 (.87 when corrected for nonlinearity) . In  \n⁎ Corresponding author.

Given the similarity between the SAT and the ACT it is not unreasonable to expect that the ACTwould show similar correlations with general intelligence, despite claims to the contrary. However, to the best of our knowledge, the relationship between the ACT and general intelligence has never been investigated in a large sample.  \nThe ACT is composed of four sections measuring Mathematics, English, Reading, and Science, with a composite score that is the average of the four subtest scores. The score range for each subtest is 1–36 with a 2003 average of 20.8 . Composite and subtest scores have varied little in the past decade, though changes to the ACT were implemented in 2005 in the form of an optional writing test (Facts about the ACT) .  \n154 K.A. Koenig et al. / Intelligence 36 (2008) 153–160  \nMuch research has focused on the usefulness of the ACT for predicting success in college. Stumpf and Stanley (2002) found that ACT scores show a .70 correlation with college graduation rates. In addition, ACT scores have been shown to correlate with college GPA from .54 to .63, and the ACT math subtest correlates with math GPA from .48 to .64 (Koretz & Berends, 2001; Pettijohn, 1995; Sibert & Ayers, 1989; Snowman, Leitner, Snyder, & Lockhart, 1980) .
