This book delineates intellectual discrepancies between delinquent girls and several different comparison groups, including college students, members of evening classes at a settlement house, and domestic workers. The author administered five tests that measured intelligence in various ways, including verbal fluency, memory, and inductive reasoning. The results found that while the delinquent girls performed less well than the college students, they were comparable to the other two groups, suggesting that intellectual ability is not necessarily a significant factor in delinquency. This book contributes to the larger discussion of the causes of delinquency and challenges the assumption that intellectual deficiencies are a significant factor.
