S ummary . Part of Progressive Matrices (1947) and an Arithmetic test were administered with initial and final time limits to a group of 100 9‐year‐old pupils. It was shown that, as in previous studies, with university students, groups of subjects could be identified who were slow but accurate workers whose intellectual level was severely underestimated by imposed time limits. It was also shown that the same subjects tended to be handicapped by imposed time limits on both tests. No relationship between preferred work‐method and neuroticism or extraversion scores on the Junior M.P.I, was found.
