Resumo

Tests of verbal intelligence, operational thinking, and divergent thinking were administered to thirty Aboriginal and thirty disadvantaged European children living in Alice Springs, N.T., Australia. Scores from the three types of tests were correlated with each other to determine the relationship among them. Differences were sought between age ranges and ethnic groups on each of the three kinds of tests by means of t tests and analyses of variance. With the exception of the correlation between the Matrices Test and the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test, the correlations were similar to those reported previously. The t tests confirmed significant differences between the Aboriginal and European sample on the PPVT. However, there were no significant differences between the Aboriginal and European sample on any of the other tests.
