Summary Sixty‐two dysphasic patients were tested on the Matrices, the Schuell and a measure of communication ability. The non‐verbal intelligence of these subjects as tested by Raven's Coloured Progressive Matrices was at about the average level despite their language impairment. Intelligence correlated more strongly the more complex the tasks on each section of the Schuell. The measure of communication ability correlated strongly with the more lengthy Schuell assessment. Regression equations for predicting Schuell scores were calculated and some features of the intelligence‐language link in dysphasia discussed.
