Abstract

59 tests were administered to 91 males between 19 and 25, the tests to be performed in the most "natural, congenial way." The results were factored to yield 9 factors, including speed of: large movements of trunk and limbs, small movements, drawing with feet, drawing with hands, perception, reaction time, and cognition. It was not possible on the basis of one or two isolated speeds to predict speed in other psychological functions. Nonmotor speeds could not be predicted with any assurance from motor speeds. The postulation of a general monistic factor of tempo that could be used for the purpose of prediction does not seem to agree with the experimental findings.
