Abstract

Chiang and Atkinson (1976) reported evidence of sex differences in the correlation between information-processing speed and intelligence. For males, speed of information processing correlated positively with intelligence, as indicated by negative correlations between intercept and slope measures and Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) scores; for females, speed of information processing correlated negatively with intelligence, as indicated by positive correlations between intercept and slope measures and SAT scores. To assess the findings of Chiang and Atkinson, an information-processing test battery and the Wesman Personnel Classification Test were administered to 28 female and 24 male undergraduate students. The results of the present study did not support the sex differences described by Chiang and Atkinson.
