Results of administering Piagetian tests of concrete and formal operations to 6- to 11-year-olds whose IQ's were in excess of 160 support the reality of Piaget's stage structures but suggest that the speed with which tasks within a stage are mastered is a function of intelligence in the psychometric sense.
