Intelligence Tests
Show Better Score
For Young Students
Stillwater, Okla., Dec. 19 (Spe
cial.) That ydungcr students make
relatively higher intelligence scores
than their classmates was indicated
by the results of an intelligence test
given 170 students of agriculture at
the Oklahoma A. and M. college, re
cently, ?,y Prof. O. M. Clark, agri
cultural education department.
Only 29 upperclassmen took the
test, which was intended mainly for
freshmen and sophomores, of which
there were 83 and 58 respectively.
The average of the scores made by
the freshmen was 100; by the sopho
mores 106. The test, which was de
vised to measure mentality only, di
vided the students into four main
groups.
Those making a score of 110 or
more were in the superior group.
Those making 100 to 110 were in a
second group. Those from 90 to 100
and below 90 were two others. Per
centages of the two classes in the
four groups showed that the second
year students led in average intelli
gence. This is explained by the as
sumption that the more dull students
are eliminated during the first year
at college.
