Correlations between extraversion and ability typically change from positive to negative at about 13-14 years. A method for analysing this change is developed and applied to Rushton's (1969) data from his longitudinal study of 266 children of above-average intelligence, whom he tested at 10-11 years and again at 15-16 years of age. Correlations between extraversion and relative decrease in English and in mathematics are found and attributed to an association between introversion and study. A correlation between intelligence and relative decrease in extraversion is found and attributed to a persistent earliness versus lateness of development. An appendix indicates a statistical proof and provides convenient formulae
