Two group versions of a multiple‐choice perceptual maze test are described. The test has been administered to two groups of normal subjects. The results show that the test has a high reliability and suggest that the material reliably samples an ability which is not normally measured by intelligence tests. It is tentatively suggested that this ability may be related to perceptual capacity. The importance of perceptual factors in determining intelligent behaviour is briefly discussed.
