Abstract
A short form of the Arthur Point Scale was used to measure the intelligence of 670 American Indian children, ages 6 to 15, in 11 communities of Hopi, Navaho, Zuni, Zia, Papago, and Sioux. Average ability is about the same as that of white children, with large differences among communities. The Indian children do not work more slowly than whites on these tests. Thirty children previously tested with the Kuhlmann-Anderson averaged 20 points higher in IQ on the Arthur Scale. The performance test would seem the more valuable for educational placement of Southwestern Indian children. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2006 APA, all rights reserved)
