Abstract
4 verbal tests from the Wechsler-Bellevue Scale, the AGCT, and the Army Mechanical Aptitude Test, were administered to Whites, Negroes, Mexicans, and Indians, all of whom were classified as illiterate upon induction into the army. On the 4 subtests of the Wechsler, the White and Negro means are practically identical; the Indian group is lowest. On the AGCT, the Negro is inferior to the White; the Mexican is superior to the Negro; the Indian group is again lowest. It is concluded that group inferiority or superiority is in part, at least, a function of the test employed. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2006 APA, all rights reserved)Keywords
