Abstract
2 congenitive dispositions, inferential and analytic, and their relationship to impulsive school behavior were investigated. The relationship of the dispositions to the Fisher-Cleveland Barrier score was also tested. The Kagan Conceptual Styles Test (CST) and the Rorschach ink blots were administered to 46 extremely impulsive boys in special 4th-grade school classrooms. The CST was not able to distinguish these impulsive children from Kagan''s equivalent normal sample or from another normal group. As anticipated, no significant relationships existed between the Barrier score and either of the scores derived from the CST.
