On the proposed methods for Tanglewood, we have plenty of options to consider when looking at our predictors correlated to citizenship, absence, performance, and promotion potential. The Marshfield Customer Service Biodata Questionnaire and Essay turned out to be the best predictor of citizenship. The Biodata had a correlation of .22 and p-value < .01 when comparing to citizenship. This is the highest correlation to citizenship and is proven to be statistically significant. When looking into the correlation conscientiousness to absence, conscientiousness is best correlated at -.33.
