S ummary . A Persian form of Heim's AH5, a high‐grade group intelligence scale, was given to a representative sample of Iranian secondary school pupils (575 boys, 433 girls, aged 17–18 years). Iranian subjects as a group were found to score substantially lower than their British counterparts. Girls were inferior to boys on both verbal and non‐verbal scales of the test and there were significant differences between the three fields of specialisation.
