Abstract
The Colulmbia Mental Maturity Scale showed significantly lower intellectual functioning in deprived Negro children than in similarly deprived white children. Both Negro and white children scored significantly below their chronological ages on the Goodenough Draw-A-Man Test. No group differences were found on the Vineland Social Maturity Scale, and results were congruent with their chronological ages. Caution in the use of these tests with deprived children is suggested.Keywords
