Abstract

Klineberg (see 9: 4717) and recently Benedict and Weltfish (see 18: 787) selected extreme states to show that intelligence test scores are more a function of geography than of skin color. The complete picture is presented in this note, with an analysis of variance of the Army Alpha and Beta tests in all states in 1919. Inclusion of the Beta results helps the whites more than the Negroes. The complete results show test scores to be significantly related both to skin color and to locale.
