Abstract
Two groups, each consisting of 24 normal young men, were given the Halstead-Reitan Neuropsychology Battery and additional tests of intellectual and personality functioning, the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Sale [WAIS], the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory [MMPI], the Taylor Manifest Anxiety Scale [TMAS] and the Cornell Medical Index [CMI]. The test (and subtest) scores were intercorrelated. No significant correlations were found between any of the personality tests and any of the subtests of the Halstead-Reitan Neuropsychology Battery. Most of the WAIS measures likewise failed to correlate with the Halstead-Reitan measures in the 2 samples. The exceptions were the Digit Span and Block Design subtests and the Performance Scale IQ score on the WAIS which did correlate with some of the subtests from the Halstead-Reiten Neuropsychology Battery. The findings with normal subjects reported in this paper, in contrast with findings with psychopathological and brain-damaged groups of subjects previously reported indicate that for Ss [subjects] in the top half of the population in education and WAIS FSIQ [Full Scale IQ], individual differences in scores on the WAIS, the MMPI, TMAS and CMI do not materially influence performance on the Halstead-Reitan Neuropsychology Battery measures.
