Abstract
This paper reviews literature dealing with use of the Biographical Information Blank (BIB) among student populations. The studies are considered under the four criterion areas of scholastic grades, creative achievement, persistence in school, and vocational or curriculum choice. Substantial areas of disagreement remain in the application and utility of the BIB as a predictor based upon the choice of educational criteria and the content of the BIB itself.Keywords
