Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the correlation of academic abilities in high school students. Findings from the study were drawn from data collected from 121 graduates of a girls' high school between 1907 and 1911. The author focuses on the correlation between grades in individual subjects, grouping the data into four years of study. Subjects are principally English, mathematics, and sciences, with additional offerings in history, Latin, and drawing. Analysis revealed that students who excelled in one area tended to demonstrate similar levels of achievement in other subjects. The author attributes this correlation not to "spread of ability" but to similarities in the approaches to the content of various academic subjects. In this way, the book contributes an early perspective to the ongoing discourse surrounding the existence of "general intelligence."
