Indicators of eminence derived from word and citation counts in primary biographical articles in encyclopedias published at the turn of the century, in 1935, and 1974 correlate positively .33 overall with IQ estimates made from biographical sources on a select sample of 282 persons, including philosophers, scientists, writers, musicians and…

Assessed the relationship between pleasure-aversion scores (PAS) and intelligence using all subtests of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS). The PAS measures were essentially uncorrelated with the WAIS indices for women (N=34) but were meaningful for men (N=28). (JAC)

The paper examined the extent to which IQ scores of learning disability groups can be explained by the bivariate normal probability distribution. (CL)

College Ss were twice administered both on IQ test and a test opinion scale in counterbalanced orders. The Ss received differential feedback before the second administration. Feedback significantly affected subsequent retest IQ test scores and opinion scale scores. It was concluded that when the testing is viewed as a complex interaction of…

The two key theoretical propositions of "Practical Intelligence in Everyday Life" are made plausible only if one ignores considerable evidence contradicting them. The six key empirical claims rest primarily on the illusion of evidence enhanced by selective reporting of results. (SLD)

Expresses a view of creativity that posits that creativity is widely distributed, suggesting that nearly every individual has the mental capacity to construct the personal interpretations involved in creativity. Creativity is, then, something that can be found in every child. (SLD)

Administered Raven's Advanced Progressive Matrices to 22 adults and measured cerebral glucose activity as subjects viewed videos on 2 occasions. Data provide evidence that individual differences in intelligence correlate with brain function even when the brain is engaged in non-reasoning tasks. (SLD)

Makes the case that the arguments of F. Schmidt and J. Hunter in favor of the correction for attenuation in theory testing are based on mistaken assumptions. Outlines arguments against the routine use of correction for attenuation, focusing on the relationship between true scores and construct scores. (SLD)

Discusses the role of creativity in the dialectical process of ideas, suggesting that all cultures, including cultures compromising fields of knowledge, generate a dialectical process in which: intelligence represents a thesis, advancing societal agendas; creativity represents an antithesis, questioning societal agendas and proposing new ones; and…

Five-year-old girls were given information about the names and attributes of shorebirds across four sessions. Found that the girls' knowledge of the names and attributes increased over time. Results indicated that children with higher general intelligence and greater domain-related knowledge acquired expertise faster than other children. (BC)

Presents three lines of evidence that fail to support R. Sternberg's theory of general intelligence ("g"): (1) animal problem solving studies; (2) studies of children with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder; and (3) studies of patients with frontal lobe damage. Discusses differences between psychometric "g" and practical…

Two pilot studies (n"1=155, n"2=451) are presented in this article, which were carried out within the development of an item generator for the automatic generation of figural matrices items. The focus of the presented studies was to compare two types of item designs with regard to the effect of variations of the property ''perceptual…
