Subclaims¶
Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q2 i? Correlations between the Rosanoff High Standard Frequency score and scholarship differed markedly between groups: about 0.63 in the control group versus about 0.00 in the discrepancy group. → Stone 1924
q2 i? Correlations between normal speed of writing and scholarship and intelligence were low in both groups (about 0.10 or less). → Stone 1924 (2)

q2 · i? · associational · r1
Correlational comparison of 45 control men (discrepancy not over 2 per cent) with the discrepancy group on five measurements. The printed table shows r Rosanoff High Speed Frequency with scholarship of 0.632±0.063 (control) versus 0.002±0.103 (discrepancy), and with intelligence 0.643±0.062 versus 0.036±0.101.
"In the correlations there were marked divergences between the control group and the discrepancy group in only two of the five measurements"

In the same correlational table, normal speed of writing showed low correlations in both groups: with scholarship 0.097±0.104 (control) versus 0.609±0.064 is the Rosanoff row; the writing-speed rows print 0.097±0.104 and 0.123±0.103, both low.
"r normal speed of writing... ."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Most students show small discrepancies between intelligence percentile and scholarship percentile, but a substantial minority show large ones — related
- Directional correlations between test scores and discrepancy direction are low but suggest tension tests track scholarship superiority and assimilation tests track intelligence superiority — related
- IQ-grade correlation differs sharply by class standing: .69 for Juniors versus .17 for Sophomores, rising to .48 when three discrepant records are omitted — related
- Three Sophomores' discrepant records trace to character factors, including over-rating due to verbal fluency — related
