Three aptitude factor scores for each of 2,985 college-bound, urban high school seniors were used to compare patterns and levels of performance by sex and ethnic group membership. The results indicated that within ethnic groups, men and women exhibit patterns of scores characteristic of their sex. Significant differences in levels of performance between ethnic groups were found on the three factors, and differences on two factors were found for males and females
