Abstract	This packet contains five issues of "GED Profiles" that examine various aspects of the characteristics and motivation of adults who take the General Educational Development (GED) tests and the effects of completion. These topics are explored: "GED Candidates in the Workforce: Employed and Employable" (Janet Baldwin, Henry Spille); "Why Did They Drop Out? Reasons GED Candidates Give for Leaving School" (Janet Baldwin); "GED Test Performance of Adult Examinees and High School Seniors" (Janet Baldwin); "The Gender Gap: Women and Men Who Take the GED Tests" (Elisabeth Hayes, Janet Baldwin); and "GED Candidates: Does Age Make a Difference?" (Bonnie Kroll, Janet Baldwin). In addition, each issue summarizes key findings and implications and includes a short list of highlights, graphs and tables, and a reference list. (KC)
