Abstract
EACH year since 1958, a variety of mental tests has been given to samples of fifth- and lower-sixth-form boys at English public and grammar schools1. The oldest of these boys have now left school, and the majority—147 out of 195—has proceeded to a university. Thus it is possible to compare those who have achieved academic distinction in reaching university with those who have not. For this purpose, the sample of 195 is divided into four groups: (a) boys gaining open scholarships and exhibitions at Oxford or Cambridge; (b) those gaining places at Oxford or Cambridge; (c) those gaining places at other universities; (d) those who have not gone to a university.
