IES Arrow-Dot Performance in Different Adolescent Populations

Abstract

28 Negro boys and 44 Negro girls, entering high school with low (below 80) IQs were administered the Arrow-Dot subtest of the IES test. The girls exhibited significantly lower E and significantly higher S scores. The data were compared with those of other studies of adolescents. The Negro males exhibited significantly higher I and lower E scores; the Negro females exhibited significantly higher I and S scores and lower E scores in comparison with one group, and higher S and lower E scores in comparison with another (the I score difference while non-significant was in the same direction as in the other comparison).
