Abstract
Summary. A group of first year engineering students was given the Progressive Matrices (1947) with initial and final time limits; the Nufferno Level test, with a time limit; and an objective (mathematical) test with initial and final time limits. As in a previous study, the Matrices test revealed a slow‐working group which was handicapped by the time limit. On the Level test, this group completed fewer items within the time limit, but obtained as a high a Level score as the faster‐working students. The group was shown to be handicapped by the time limit placed on the objective test. The implications of these results for university selection procedures, and the relevance of the personality dimension of introversion‐extraversion as a possible explanatory factor for the group differences, are discussed.
