Update on this section

For the MBA Income Attainment study, GD (masculinity defined as a preference for an organizational culture high on aggressiveness and low on supportivness, and femininity was vice versa) was found to only be correlated with initial occupational success, while a third factor, effort, was responsible for long-term success.

For the Gender-Related Traits of Heterosexual and Homosexual Men and Women study, it was found that a heterosexual-homosexual diagnosticity was just was good as GD in determining occupational preferences.

The MBA study stated that gender gaps in income were attributable to more hours worked (effort) by men than women in the long-run. However, all of the participants were in a commerce program and worked in commerce. Comparing this to the second study, women and gay men are more likely to prefer more female-typical occupations in fields, the majority of which are lower-paying than the male-typical occupations preferred by men and lesbian women. What I'm getting at is that in terms of occupational success, GD can be a strong predictor of income, but only when you compare genders within the same field.

With our Gender Diagnosticity, we may be able to similarly predict how successful an individual, say, a student, may be compared to his or her peers in his or her first years of work in the field better than GPA. Granted, this would be limited to a short-term prediction. I think this could have some implications on future research; to compare GD to GPA, teamwork/interpersonal skills, SES/background, or even educational attainment itself. Thoughts?
