• Efficacy of any selection depends upon (a) proper identification of variables relevant for success;(b) determination of the typical combination of the variables i.e., profile. The present study aimed at isolating this typical profile of a set of selection variables to maximise prediction. Two groups of subjects were classified into different clusters through (i) cluster analysis using Distance Function, (ii) Q-technique. Difference between the two analyses centers round the effect of elevation and scatter on the profile, which is retained in Distance Function and eliminated in Q-technique. The two procedures produced different sets of clusters. Clusters formed by Distance Function were small in number and distinct in nature. This, however, was not achieved through use of Q-technique. Clusters formed by Distance Function successfully classified individuals with high probability of success whereas the other procedure failed to do so. It indicates that elevation and scatter are important factors in isolating the profile of successful individuals and not their patterns only.
