S ummary . Following Eysenck and Cookson's study of the personality and ability of children aged 10–11 years, Cookson collected scores from some 1,700 of the same children at the age of 14–15 years. The present paper presents and analyses the resulting correlations between Eysenckian extraversion and ability. The results confirm a finding from previous Cattellian test data, that the more intelligent children decline in relative extraversion scores, and cast doubt on an Eysenckian suggestion that gradually introverts show higher I.Q.
