Abstract
A computer program was used to investigate the correlation of IQ with inspection time (IT). The program was written as a space game and was presented to 122 fourth-, fifth-, and sixth-grade children. The results were then compared to known Otis-Lennon IQ scores. The correlation was moderately high (.79), most subjects scoring within one stanine of the Otis IQ. Not included in the correlation sample were 23 children of the same grade and age level who were classified by school officials as having reading and language difficulties. All of these children scored significantly higher in IT and teacher evaluation than they did on the SAT vocabulary test and the Otis IQ. IT is a useful alternative to the more traditional measures of IQ. In addition, the computerized approach used in this study overcame many of its criticisms.
