S ummary . In a recent article, Lynn put forward the view that anxious children tend to show a higher performance in reading as compared with arithmetic. A group of aggressive children and a group of withdrawing children were given tests of reading and arithmetic and the disparity scores compared. There is a strong tendency for the former to perform badly in arithmetic and Raven's Matrices. These results are discussed in the light of available evidence.
