Abstract

Maori children and New Zealand children were given the SRA form of Thurstone's Test of Primary Mental Abilities and a special nonverbal test battery. The Maori groups did worse than the control on the nonverbal test than on the PMA. This findings raises some doubt on the effectiveness of nonverbal tests for the evaluation of mental ability of culturally handicapped groups.
