q1 · i? · associational · r1
Single-case comparison in which one inventor of international reputation took the same twelve tests as the 100 students. The article reports he "ranked within the first half of the group" without an exceptional record.
"it is interesting to note that the inventor did not give exceptional evidence of originality in his response to the tests, though he ranked within the first half of the group."
