Abstract
The performance of pupils in the Primary Five Assessment Examination was examined in
relation to a number of variables namely achievement motivation, socio-economic status, intelligence,
area of residence, school milieu and parental encouragement to assess the correlation between them. The
subjects were 90 pupils selected from 40 primary schools in Selangor and represented the Chinese, Malays
and Indians. Individual interviews were conducted by the researcher. Subjects were asked to answer
questionnaires, the Thematic Apperception Test, and the Raven's Progressive Matrices. The results showed
that achievement motivation correlated highly with performance in the stated examination. The other
variables which showed significant correlations with performance were socio-economic status, intelligence,
school milieu and parental encouragement.
