Abstract
"A study was made of the relationship between intellectual measures and a series of opinion, attitude, and self-description items, believed, on a priori and theoretical grounds, to covary with intellect. fifty-two items were found to possess empirical validity. These items were assembled in a scale which yielded median validity coefficients of approximately .58 in 4 original samples, and of .47 in 9 check samples. Adjectival descriptions of subjects scoring high on the scale tended to stress factors of dependability, intellectual clarity, persistence, and planfulness. The decision was made to call the scale a measure of 'intellectual efficiency' in order to reflect these properties." (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2006 APA, all rights reserved)
